Lose It For Ever – Dave Elger

According to the Corn Refiner’s Association, early speculation by researchers on the evils of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)was based on an incorrect assumption. The studies that found potential for weight gain due to differences in the metabolism of HFCS compared to other sugars were using plain fructose. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a compound containing about 55% fructose and 45% glucose, not much different than plain table sugar.

So HFCS may be getting a bad rap-unless of course you consider new information that discovered alarming levels of mercury in almost half of samples tested!

The bottom line is we take in way too much high fructose corn syrup, and soft drinks are a major culprit.
