Hi Liz,
The CRA can't hide the math! Take the variant HFCS-55. Although its
composition (55%fructose:45%glucose) appears to be 5% different than
sucrose 50:50), when you do the math a significant difference emerges.
55/45=1.22. That means that everytime you drink a soda with HFCS-55 your
liver is receiving, compared to glucose, 22% extra fructose. Metabolic
dangers of excess fructose have been well documented as commented by DianeP. Ditch HFCS, especially HFCS-55 which is used to sweeten many
beverages. StopHFCS.com has an extensive list of HFCS-free foods and beverages. To your health.
