So your statement that Coke with sugar instead of HFCS having a different effect on the body is not quite correct.<BR/><BR/>Sucrose breaks down to (roughly) 50% fructose and %50 glucose in the body. The HFCS in soft drinks is 55% Fructose and 45% glucose.<BR/><BR/>So generally speaking, Sucrose and HFCS are similar and both not so great for you in large quantities.<BR/><BR/>Now it I could just get the regular sucrose out of my diet. :)Steven Noreykohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998580264956061186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658971.post-29152124378470275302007-03-29T08:53:00.000-07:002007-03-29T08:53:00.000-07:00welcome, mark. any friend of cbb is a friend of m...welcome, mark. any friend of cbb is a friend of mine! <BR/><BR/>aren't you surprised by how ubiquitous hfcs is in items that are supposed to be healthy? for example, it is the first ingredient in <A HREF="http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/protein/power-bar-review.htm" REL="nofollow">power bars</A> and is in <A HREF="http://www.hansens.com/products/products.php?subcat=1&color=soda" REL="nofollow">hansen's "natural" sodas</A>.maltese parakeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878266308446241819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658971.post-85649787224414253572007-03-29T08:39:00.000-07:002007-03-29T08:39:00.000-07:00Found you from CBB's website.I ate a Nature Valley...Found you from CBB's website.<BR/><BR/>I ate a Nature Valley granola bar the other day, you know the old-fashioned, crunchy kind, not that namby-pamby chewy granola.<BR/><BR/>I read the ingredient list, expecting to find nothing but wholesome ingredients. Sugar was listed as the second ingredient. While not particularly heartening, I was glad to see it was just plain sugar.<BR/><BR/>As I skimmed farther into the list I was shocked to find high fructose corn syrup!<BR/><BR/>Noooooo! Not my precious dental-work challenging granola bars!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722639974320971726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11658971.post-83771844160116220212007-03-05T21:26:00.000-08:002007-03-05T21:26:00.000-08:00I'm with you.

Two people from our circle have been diagnosed with that particular type of cancer.
