And after all the efforts of the “Sugar Association”, sugar is now largely bypassed in favor of high fructose corn syrup.
Which, to your body, is indistinguishable from sucrose, except that it tastes sweeter. That allows the food industry to use less sugar for the same taste.
The difference between sucrose and high fructose corn syrup is that sucrose contains one molecule each of fructose and glucose, covalently bonded. HFCS contains 40-60% fructose and 60-40% glucose, but they are not covalently boded. The covalent bond in sucrose is broken almost as soon as you eat the sugar.
There is no sound Sugar is toxic, but HFCS is far far worse.0
What about either in diabetes control? Where every carb or gram of sugar and I don’t care the source has to be counted. And uncontrolled diabetes does lead into heart disease.
And no one has factored in the 15% or more your meter is off or what other meds drive up you blood sugar level. I take 2 such drugs and they are MUST drugs. Endo wants the morning blood sugar level 100 or less. I might see that once or twice a month. I’m considered Pre-diabetic due to a digestive disorder that doesn’t allow you to digest FIBER fruit or veggies, no seeds, nuts or rice either.
