High fructuse corn syrup

  1. High fructuse corn syrup is to carbohydrates what trans fats are to fats. (11/10/11)
  2. "Increases in fructose consumption have paralleled the increasing prevalence of obesity, and high-fructose diets are thought to promote weight gain and insulin resistance. Fructose ingestion produces smaller increases in circulating satiety hormones compared with glucose ingestion, and central administration of fructose provokes feeding in rodents, whereas centrally administered glucose promotes satiety." (JAMA. 2013;309(1):63-70. doi:10.1001/jama.2012.116975., 1/2/13)
