“companies know there’s rising demand for natural sweeteners as consumers turn away from products made with high fructose corn syrup”
Yeah, right.
“HFCS 55 (mostly used in soft drinks), approximately 55% fructose and 42% glucose; and HFCS 42 (used in beverages, processed foods, cereals, and baked goods), approximately 42% fructose and 53% glucose”
Sucrose (table sugar) is 50% fructose and 50% glucose, so some HFCS is actually more healthy than table sugar, at least in terms of fructose content.
Maple syrup is basically just a glucose solution, so again, it’s 50% fructose and 50% glucose.
Honey is mainly fructose (about 38.5%) and glucose (about 31.0%), so it’s worst of all in terms of fructose content.
Basically, they’re pretty much ALL bad for you because most contain at least 50% fructose.
So John the Baptist was in ill health thanks to his diet of locusts and wild honey?
