Dextrose is also called glucose. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is also called hepatic steatosis.
Dietary fructose induces endotoxemia and hepatic injury in calorically controlled primates
Limit your HFCS drinks to one a day. I wish RC Cola would go back to REAL sugar!
All this HFCS stuff would go away if only we stopped subsidizing the corn farmers so damned much inthe farm bill...
We also subsidize the big agribusinesses that refine it as well.. so stop that too.
I wouldn’t advise drinking ANY of that stuff. It’s really poisonous, and it’s not reversible.
I used to have an occasional Coke, but no longer.
So, 1 year in humans is two monkey years?..............
Go to Big Lots and buy the Mexican Coke products. They have real sugar since Mexico does not allow HFCS.......
I’ve done that, but I’ve gotten some that “didn’t taste right”. Enough that I stopped the practice.
What we need to do is discontinue supporting the high price for domestic sugar. the only reason the drink mfrs use HFCS is because it’s cheaper to do so. If we paid the world price for sugar they would go back it using it............

Yep, that and stop buying HFCS drinks, or only the ones that contain real sugar. They would change the formulas almost overnight if that occurred.
...Mexican Coke products....

No, thanks. I avoid HFCS strenuously. I avoid any foodstuffs made in Mexico, as well. No telling what is actually in them.
it is a us only allowed poison.
btw the term HFCS is being phased out for Fructose only. Same poison just neew aand improved name.
I'm far from a nutcase on HFCS, but I've noticed two things....
1) The Corn Lobby has been buying time on TV stations promoting HFCS as sugar....just the same as cane sugar, beet sugar, etc etc etc. I start yelling at the TV..."FRUCTOSE and SUCROSE are NOT THE SAME THING!!!!". So far, the TV hasn't responded to me. Mrs WBill did ask me, however, if I knew how funny I looked.
B) My wife decided that we'd cut back on HFCS. We're a little more cognizant of whether or not it's in what we're eating, and are changing what we buy, accordingly. I found HFCS in a ton of stuff that I'd never think of (Bread! Ketchup?!) and HFCS listed in the top 3 ingredients in a whole lot more (soda..duh, peanut butter).
As a result of these cutbacks, I've noticed that I feel fuller and don't eat as much. For instance, I used to have a couple of PB sandwiches for lunch, now one fills me up just fine. Interesting, sez I.
That, and the other half of the coin, if we stopped artificially propping up the price of cane sugar well above what the market would normally charge.
Don’t drink soda at all.
If you want to fatten cattle you feed them corn.
It is well known that cancer cells feed on glucose, the simplest sugar. Now a new piece of research has shown that at least one form of cancer also feeds on the sugar fructose and that is bad news; because fructose is everywhere in the modern Western diet.
For this new study researchers took pancreatic cancer cells from human patients and grew them in the lab. They then added glucose to one group of the cells and fructose to another group. Using mass spectrometry to track the sugars the researchers found that pancreatic cells did distinguish between fructose and glucose even though they are chemically almost identical. The cancer cells used fructose to manufacture nucleic acids which they then used to make RNA and DNA. This allows the cancer cells to divide and grow.
The capacity of fructose to increase cancer growth is bad news as fructose consumption has increased dramatically in recent decades.

Other issues are somehow (don't remember exactly how) related to the feeling of hunger, it throws a wrench into the biological mechanism that lets you when you're full.
But you're right!
