Sucrose: a disaccharide of glucose (left) and fructose (right), important molecules in the body.
“Your body knows the difference. It immediately stores these calories as fat. Sugar is used immediately and the leftovers are stored.”
I love how they are trying to spin that HCFS is “nutritionally” the same, but the reality is, they are vastly different in how they effect the body, and what happens when they hit your bloodstream. HCFS is a sugar bomb for your blood sugar levels, along with the body’s reaction to them and storing them.
The best way to explain the issue is to ask people: how do you make cattle nice and fat for the butcher? Answer: you feed them a lot of feed - and corn is really, really good.
Then ask them how much corn they eat in a week, including all HCFS, all corn based products like chips, or tortillas, popcorn, some breakfast cereals, lots of food use corn as a filler, or crust...and people wonder why we’re getting fatter. We eat mounds of white flour and corn - we eat like cattle!
