http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup High-fructose corn syrup (
HFCS) – also called
isoglucose,
[1] maize syrup, or
glucose-fructose syrup[2][3] in the UK, and
glucose/fructose[4] in Canada – comprises any of a group of
corn syrups that has undergone
enzymatic processing to convert its glucose into
fructose and has then been mixed with pure corn syrup (100%
glucose) to produce a desired
sweetness. In the United States, consumer foods and products typically use high-fructose corn syrup as a
sugar substitute. In the United States, it has become very common in processed foods and beverages, including
soft drinks,
yogurt, industrial bread, cookies,
salad dressing,
tomato soup[5] and
ketchup.
Health effects
Critics of HFCS point out a correlation between increased usage of HFCS in foods and obesity rates in the United States over three decades.
[40] Some allege that HFCS is in itself more detrimental to health than
table sugar (sucrose); others claim that the low cost of HFCS encourages overconsumption of sugars. The
Corn Refiners Association has launched an aggressive advertising campaign to counter these criticisms, claiming that high-fructose corn syrup "is natural" and "has the same natural sweeteners as table sugar".
[41] Both sides point to studies in
peer reviewed journals that allegedly support their point of view.
Liver disease
A March 18, 2010 Duke University Medical Center study found that "increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup was associated with scarring in the liver, or fibrosis, among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)."[57] Another study which compared HFCS to sucrose in rats found that both caused fatty liver.[58]
Apiculture
In the United States, high-fructose corn syrup has become a sucrose replacement for honey bees. In 2009, a study by Leblanc et al. found that at temperatures above 45 °C (113 °F) HFCS rapidly begins to form hydroxymethylfurfural, which is toxic to the honey bees being fed HFCS.[59]

What is HFCS?
HFCS is not the run of the mill corn syrup found on the grocery store shelf, nor is it the fructose naturally found in fruits and honey. HFCS is a highly refined clear liquid derived from corn starch. Food manufactures love to use it because of its long shelf life an it's relative low cost.
Why is HFCS Bad for us?
Since HFCS's widespread introduction in the 1980's North American obesity rates have skyrocketed. Obesity has been linked to may heath issues including heart disease and many forms of cancer. When HFCS is ingested, it travels straight to the liver which turns the sugary liquid into fat, and unlike other carbohydrates HFCS does not cause the pancreas to produce insulin; which acts as a hunger quenching signal to the brain. So we get stuck in a vicious cycle, eating food that gets immediately stored as fat and never feeling full.
Where is HFCS found?
HFCS is found in almost everything we eat today. However, the worst culprit has to be
soft drinks. A single 12 oz can of cola has up to 13 tsp of sugar, most of it fructose from HFCS. There is HFCS hidden in many of our other food as well, like ketchup, relish, cookies, and most alarmingly in low-fat
diet foods. Manufactures substitute HFCS for the fat in food like mayo and salad dressings, then mark them as diet foods.
How Can We Avoid HFCS?
Avoiding HFCS will take a lifestyle change for the better. The first food to go has to be the soft drinks; this includes fruit punch, fruit cocktails, and Kool-Aid since they are all laden with HFCS.
Second, eat more meals at home. Restaurant foods are mostly prepackaged foods reheated and served to you. Use of HFCS in these foods is wide spread because of their increased shelf life.
Third, diet while you shop. Since you are going to be eating most of your meals at home, you're going to want to fill your cupboards with the best foods. While shopping, read the labels, if HFCS, fructose, or modified corn starch appears within the first five ingredients place it back on the shelf an move on. Sounds easy right? Wrong. As you make your way through the store you will begin to realize just how much of what you have been eating on a daily basis contains HFCS.
Reducing HFCS will not alway be easy, but the health benefits are well worth it. You will feel stronger and more vital, it will lift your mood and give you increased concentration. Limiting your intake of HFCS will not only shrink your midsection but also do wonders for your over all health.
Update Aug 13 2009:
New studies have shown HFCS and regular sugar are nutitionaly identical and your body reacts the same to them. The advice in this article still holds true. If you reduce your HFCS you will be reducing your overall sugar and calorie intake. This will lead to weight loss and weight loss will lead to better health. it is the obesity that is the problem not the HFCS inparticular. I know its a minor point, I'm just striving for accuacy.

Since HFCS is a blend of glucose and fructose, it's important to understand the role each plays in your body. All sugars, indeed all carbohydrates, have four calories per gram.
But that is just part of the story.
Glucose (dextrose) is a monosaccharide (basically, a simple sugar), which is the form of sugar that is transported in the blood and is used by the body for energy. This is what you measure when testing your blood glucose or blood "sugar."
Fructose is also a monosaccharide and is often referred to as "fruit sugar," because it is the primary carbohydrate in most fruits. It's also the primary sugar in honey and half the carbohydrate in sucrose (table sugar). However, fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion or require insulin to be transported into cells, as do other carbohydrates.
The Fate of Fructose in the Body
Fructose requires a different metabolic pathway than other carbohydrates because it basically skips glycolysis (normal carbohydrate metabolism). Because of this, fructose is an unregulated source of "acetyl CoA," or the starting material for fatty acid synthesis. This, coupled with unstimulated leptin levels, is like opening the flood gates of fat deposition.
Should Fructose Be Eliminated From the Diet?
It's not that you should eliminate fructose from your diet, but you should be aware of how much you're consuming. After all, fructose is the primary sugar found in fruits, which provide valuable nutrients. In this case, a little fructose is fine. It becomes a problem only when someone consumes high levels of fructose or HFCS, which is now present in virtually all commercial foods (see below).
Check the Food Labels
While there is no way of knowing exactly how much HFCS is in a given product, you can read the food labels to gauge sugar levels. So, for example, if HFCS is one of the first ingredients listed (in soft drinks or syrup, for example), it is safe to assume there's a lot in the product. If HFCS is in the products you buy, make sure it is either low on the ingredient list or that the products list very few total grams of sugar (which is how HFCS is shown on ingredient labels).
What Does It All Mean?
If HFCS is one of the first ingredients listed on a food label, don't eat it. Make a mental list of the worst culprits, such as regular soft drinks and many highly sweetened breakfast cereals. HFCS alone won't make you fat, but when HFCS is high on the ingredient list, the food is not the best choice. As part of a lifestyle that has many of us eating too much and moving too little, we're putting our health at risk if we don't choose our foods carefully.
So what's the answer? It's easy. Avoid HFCS by reading food labels and shopping the grocery store's perimeter: Produce is on one side, seafood, meat and poultry on another, and dairy products, eggs and bread on the third. Avoid the center aisles, which are mostly stocked with highly processed foods.
The more you stick to fresh whole foods and avoid commercial and highly processed foods, the less HFCS you will consume.
Common Foods High in HFCS
- Regular soft drinks
- Fruit juice and fruit drinks that are not 100 percent juice
- Pancake syrups
- Popsicles
- Fruit-flavored yogurts
- Frozen yogurts
- Ketchup and BBQ sauces
- Jarred and canned pasta sauces
- Canned soups
- Canned fruits (if not in its own juice)
- Breakfast cereals
- Highly sweetened breakfast cereals
Problems Caused by Too Much HFCS
- It can lead to higher caloric intake
- It can lead to an increase in bodyweight
- It fools your body into thinking it's hungry
- It increases the amount of processed foods you eat, thereby decreasing your intake of nutrient-dense foods
- It may increase insulin resistance and triglycerides
