High fructose corn syrup - odd weightloss

[IAteYourMother]

Have you ever seen corn in your poo?

Just think about where it goes in liquid form if you can't digest it's normal form. There's plenty of evidence to suggest HFCS is bad for you.

:hmm:

Why do fans of HFCS take everything so personally, you're worse than AMD fans

To conclude anything after one week is is what he was getting at.

Then look at a few labels and realize it's in everything that's not organic. Course, most people can't afford to eat purely organic.

Without getting too wrapped up in this argument again, Trader Joes is a very good source for HFCS free products (especially if you're like me and don't particularly care if you're eating organic or not). Their bread, for example, is very affordable and completely HFCS free. The only problem is that the bread is very susceptible to mold (hfcs being a preservative) so freeze away.

Oh yeah they do, but they also make me terribly mean spirited and impatient so I'm always afraid of being medicated. I keep canceling appointments with my doc - maybe next week

Here's full text and figures - I think this link should work for everyone.

This paper's been beaten up a good bit around here in a previous thread.

Cliffs - there 3 principle data sets in the paper. One showed a difference between hfcs and sucrose, two did not. If you look at the data, take time to be sure you're comparing apples to apples, i.e. 12h hfcs vs 12h sucrose, instead of ad libitum hfcs vs 12h sucrose.

Just to make it easier for people to know the summary results.

Experiment 1
Males: 8 weeks
1. 24-h HFCS + ad libitum chow 470±7
2. 12-h HFCS + ad libitum chow 502±11⁎
3. 12-h sucrose + ad libitum chow 477±9
4. Ad libitum chow 462±12
Experiment 2
Males: 6 months
1. 24-h HFCS + ad libitum chow 767±24⁎
2. 12-h HFCS + ad libitum chow 718±28⁎
3. Ad libitum chow 616±36
Experiment 2
Females: 7 months
1. 24-h HFCS + ad libitum chow 355±12⁎
2. 12-h HFCS + 12-h chow 323±9
3. 12-h sucrose + 12-h chow 333±10
4. Ad libitum chow 328±10
⁎ Signifies statistical difference when compared to chow-fed control groups, pb0.05.
The numbers are weight in grams.

Slightly off topic, but raw cane sugar/brown sugar is delicious.

So is chewing on sugar cane. I used to buy some from a street vendor in the Bronx - it's been a while since I've had some.

Be careful with your wording there. Raw sugar is not the same as "brown sugar". Yes, raw sugar generally has a brownish tint, but brown sugar is actually granulated sugar mixed with molasses. I'm sure you knew that, but I figured just for clarity's sake it needed to be mentioned.

And yes, I've chewed on sugar cane too - it's an awesome little treat.

HFCS is not the same as table sugar because the glucose and fructose fractions are not bound together and the monosaccarides are just blended whilst sucrose is a disaccharide. The princeton news article posits that this difference may cause HFCS to more easily cause obesity.
