Dietary fructose induces endotoxemia and hepatic injury in calorically controlled primates

This is one of the few times when they seem to have come down on the (as it turns out) wrong side of an issue.
I remember watching them YEARS ago. I always wondered what happened to them.
I have long suspected that the massive shift from cane sugar to corn syrup as our primary food sweetener has been the primary cause of the stunning increase in the nation’s obesity. I have also been very suspicious of corn syrup’s link to diabetes.
If either or both of these prove true, then it is also true that they are politically induced health disasters as corn syrup was substituted for cane sugar because of high prices caused by cane sugar tariffs.
Ain’t crony government wonderful?!
That's because fruits are politically correct ... in more ways than one.
HFCS. High fructose corn syrup. One of the main reasons of American obesity.
I'm assuming the reasoning is that table sugar is composed of molecules of fructose mated to molecules of glucose. Fructose tastes much sweeter than glucose. So, by using fructose only and leaving out the glucose, you can achieve the same amount of sweetening with a smaller amount of added sugar.

Iowa’s fault!
And because they have other nutrients like vitamins and fiber. Your post did make me smile, though.
But we already know baked goods, cell phones, high tension power lines, carbon dioxide, lead and chrome in our water, radon in our basements and artificial sweeteners in our soda are killing us.
Since this is just the start it's no wonder the median age in the U.S. has dropped to about 15. Well hasn't it?
There's still fuels, fracking, fertilizer and fries. I can barely drag myself to a breakfast Quarter Pounder.

This is why I am on the ISAGENIX program
NO artificial sweetners, no high fructose corn syrup, no steroids in the protein, no anti-biotics, no pesticide , all natural processing

40 pounds since January, 41 inches, too
sugars and steroids and toxins in the food
also lack of nutrients in the soil, we eat more because our bodies demand nutrients, not calories, and we eat as many calories as we can to get the nutrients we need

Many studies have arrived at the same conclusion, that HFCS is bad for you.
Sucrose, which is cane or beet sugar, is fructose and glucose chemically bonded together. The body takes it and breaks the bond, processes the glucose and fructose up to a point then shuts down the cleaving and no more fructose or glucose enters your system.
HFCS, as noted in the study, bypasses the bodies control mechanism and you get all the problems noted. So with less total input of “sugar” (which is what HFCS is called by the corn industry and many others) you get a magnified impact on your health.
But looking on the bright side, by eliminating just a few of the risk factors identified by the advocacy groups, we could clearly prevent at least 2,500% of the mortality in the United States today.
Sucrose is likewise a risk factor. In general, grain is a risk factor and most people eat too much of it.
