High Fructose Corn Syrup has received so much negative press that they have changed the name to "Corn Sweetener", so don't be fooled. But HFCS isn't the end of the subject. Fruit of all kinds contain fructose. Fructose is metabolized (used by the body) different from glucose. The bottom line is excessive fructose leads to insulin insensitivity (type 2 diabetes) and the other big killers (heart, cancer, mental decline, etc.). Especially when consumed without the accompanying fiber associated with eating the natural fruit; i.e., fruit juices. Dr.
Mercola expounds on this in this
article.
