I don’t quite know how to write this without sounding patronizing or
condescending, but I find the CRA’s strategy, to use mombloggers to
help them sell HFCS, rather desperate.
I have been doing research on HFCS for the last three years.
The problem with talking about HFCS is that it is not just one syrup.
According to Archer-Daniels-Midland, producer of HFCS, they make
three
Cornsweet 42,
Conrsweet 55, used for soda
Cornsweet 90, intensely sweet, used for low-cal foods and beverages.
The numbers reflect the percentage of fructose in the sweetener.
Therefore Cornsweet 90 is 90% fructose. This challenges the CRA’s
statement that HFCS is not “high” in fructose, when one of their
products surely is high in fructose compared to table sugar, sucrose, which has 50% fructose.
I will understand that you might not want to post my comment.
But, please, for your and your family’s sake, try avoiding HFCS
as much as you can, especially all national brands of soda which
are sweetened with HFCS-55. In every American Coke there is, compared to glucose, 22% more fructose.
Take care,
Cynthia Papierniak, M.S.
