Karo syrup is NOT HFCS, just in case you people didn’t know.

“What is high fructose corn syrup and how is it different from regular corn syrup?

Corn syrup is a sweetener derived from fresh corn picked and processed at its peak state of flavor and sweetness.

This is in all Karo Corn Syrup products used for baking sold in retail stores.

By contrast, high fructose corn syrup starts with regular corn syrup, which is modified by further processing and treated with enzymes to break it into two different forms of sweetness, fructose and glucose.”

In other words, it takes the disaccharide, sucrose, and does what your body does to it before it's absorbed: breaking it down into 50% fructose and 50% glucose by means of enzymes.

Here’s one link that talks a bit about volume. I hope the mercury has been addressed in the past 3 years.

And its the kidneys. Too much fructose can bring on kidney stones.

Still looking for the article that mentioned the 10%.

I like this part.

This creates a fascinating puzzle. The rats in the Princeton study became obese by drinking high-fructose corn syrup, but not by drinking sucrose. The critical differences in appetite, metabolism and gene expression that underlie this phenomenon are yet to be discovered, but may relate to the fact that excess fructose is being metabolized to produce fat, while glucose is largely being processed for energy or stored as a carbohydrate, called glycogen, in the liver and muscles.

So much for ‘the body can’t tell the difference’ commercials! LOL
