Then again maybe fructose is worse
Results showed that just two weeks after subjects began drinking
sweetened drinks, triglyceride levels were up in the fructose group,
but had actually dropped in the glucose group. Over the entire range of
the study, LDL cholesterol increased and insulin sensitivity decreased
in the fructose group but didn’t change in the glucose group. In
addition, fructose subjects gained about three pounds overall, but no
weight gain was reported in the glucose group.
Contrary to the last article. HFCS can be up to 90% fructose.
Maybe part of the obesity epidemic is from the ubiquitous use of HFCS and it’s ever increasing amounts of fructose.
The take home advice: Remove as many empty calories as you can from your diet.
