Food Ingredient That YOU Want To Avoid - Part 2 (episode 5)

True, but I'm below 10% body fat and I don't use steroids or supplements of any kind, save the OCCASIONAL protein powder mixed into my oatmeal

just because someone benches 320 doesn't mean they are healthier. some guys bench 900(Eating lots of corn syrup).Does that mean it's good for you? Hmmm, maybe it is.

Lastly your scrawny or fat (insert what ever is appropriate) ass should take a look at me; I am fit and I know my S**t I bench 320lb and have <10% body fat. I am putting my self through grad school with my freaking body. Yes all fit people whom agree that HFCS is bad, happen to be wrong

First of all, it is not all or nothing, yes, milk straight from cows gutter is probably better for you; however, normal milk is not processed to the extent that it bad for you. ALSO MY DIET IS IMPECCABLE.

Secondly, your the one that needs the education. Turning a chemically identical apple into juice concentrates it and liberates it from the fiber. So you body does treat it differently.

Thirdly HFCS is not chemically identical to fructose.
...

Do you drink milk? Milk is a processed food. Do you drink fruit or vegetable juice? Those are also processed foods. Do you use frozen vegetables? Again, processed.

You geniuses don't even know anything about what it is you seek to preach to people looking for information. You go about and give them wrong and sometimes dangerous information like recommending stevia.

If two sugars are chemically identical, our bodies don't reject one just because you think it's cool. Educate yourself, Einstein.

Excuse me, but you have no idea what the hell you are saying.

EVEN IF what you were saying were about it being chemically identical were true, that is not the only factor. The macro state in which a food is in IS VERY important. Your body does not treat (even all natural) apple juice the same as an apple. The fact is a plan apple is way better for you. Our bodies did not evolve to digest processed foods.

Will you people do your research? Genetically altered? Are you serious?

HFCS is not a genetically altered product. Do you even know what the term means? HFCS 55 is used in soft drinks. It merely indicates that it is 55% Fructose and 45% Glucose.

The fructose in HFCS is chemically IDENTICAL to the fructose found in fruits. It is not genetically altered, it's not chemically altered, it's not altered in any way.

The misinformation you people are spreading is astounding.

It's ok, I just didn't want people to get the wrong idea that they are drinking something that actually makes them get fat. Chances are people who drink diet pop are already overweight and they see the word diet and eat more because they figure they are drinking diet soda.

Fair enough. But I did say "suggesting" in the same sentence. I didn't say it was a fact. I'll leave at that.

But it's not a cause, it's just linked.

I said, "a cause," as in one of many causes.

Studies suggest that diet soda drinkers tend to be obese which means there is a link but not necessarily that diet soda is the 'cause' of obesity.

5 star :)!

Hey ShelterDogs,

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

You are half right. You were right about Stevia, but dead wrong on HFCS. 99% of nutritionists and doctors agree that HFCS is bad for you. Here is the difference: The chemical makeup in HFCS is different than sucrose, and is also genetically altered.

The fructose in fruits is natural. Also, when you drink regular soda, you are drinking an aweful lot of HFCS. It's that high consumption that is the real killer. In comparision, if you at an apple, that's very little [natural] fructose.
