Its funny how the industry says High Fructose Corn Syrup is safe in moderation. Yet how can people eat it moderately IF ITS IN EVERYTHING!! Whenever I'm at the grocery store I always make sure that whatever I get doesn't have HFCS, even if its means spending a little more.. I refuse to eat or drink anything with this crap. Here is a fun little project for everyone, drink something with high fructose corn syrup and try to do something that requires you to concentrate and remember things. Also tell me if HFCS gives you a minor headache!
I just tried it and it has no side effect. I tried the first few questions in the bar exam drinking 2 small cokes with fries and I was fine, but it may be different with other people. But pretty much every thing we eat is genetically modified or not fully natural.
Jeter Sison Yeah I guess everyone is different. For some weird reason i get a headache if i drink too much of anything with hfcs and I get a little forgetful. Only very few of my friends have similar effects.
Anthony Lol, every time I consume HFCS I get a horrible stomach ache that doesn't leave for ages, I try to stay away from it but it's hard because my family doesn't really have a clue about it
Exactly! Especially everything marketed to kids. Not surprising considering one of its effects: it shuts down your appetite control center. If you want to sell a LOT of shit to kids that's your ticket..... The other effect of hfcs is that it can cause cirrhosis of the liver.....I read every label and never, ever touch this poison!
Never touch any food or carbohydrate again then. High Fructose Corn Syrup is basically the exact same thing as sugar. In fact we humans and most animals can't even taste the difference, plus it has no other side effects. If you do feel a stomach ache it would be due to the Placebo Effect, and not the High Fructose Corn Syrup.
MsHojat That taste test has already been performed on store shelves across America. They used to only be available at Mexican shops, but now they're everywhere. You can buy glass-bottled Mexican cokes in the checkout line at Wal-mart. Pepsi has released packs of Pepsi and Mountain Dew made with real sugar as a permanent fixture at most major grocery stores. The market has spoken; sugar tastes better!
dinguswad452 Do you even understand what "blind" means? The market isn't buying things blindly. Ingredients are listed on the product, and the product packaging/style can vary as well which also affects purchases. Also, what statistic are you using to state that the market prefers the sucrose variety?
I suffered with insanely upset stomach when I was younger and no doctor seemed to know what was happening until one recommended me to stop eating foods with HFCS and when I did my problems went away immediately. When I was a freshman in college I had to start eating all the crappy food with it, and my problems started again. Now that I live in an apartment and choose to buy my food without it I'm as great as I use to be.
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957 I've been watching some videos about this subject and yes there are actually people who have an reaction to it kinda like an intolerance or allergy but not anyone, this can also happen with many other ingredients,foods and chemicals.
@@j.goebbels2134 No, it’s 100% the HFCS. Diet sodas is a great example. Regular upsets me, diet I’m fine. Regular soda made from cane sugar is fine. Cheap soda with HFCS back to horrible.
All I know is I stopped drinking soda about a month ago and I feel a lot better. I tried drinking a soda recently(someone gave me one) and it was way too sweet and way too unhealthy tasting. I can't believe I put loads of that crap into my body day after day for years. If I want something sweet i'll choose healthier options, preferably drinks that hydrate well. Oh, not to mention just from the sip that I took I could tell how bad it is for your teeth(I know, common sense.) But when you drink it day after day you don't really think about that too much because it's so much of a normal routine.
Billy32210 same here bro stay away from processed food, fast foods and any other food that you haven't prepared yourself in other words learn how to cook yourself and source your ingredients from fresh produce. Water is also becoming more tampered and contaminated with these days like "fluorine" I will only drink filtered or rain water but yeah soda's are unhealthy and bad for your bones I noticed the change after just weeks.
Terry Mangrum I think I know what I Just said, why did you think I said it, I think you don't know what I just said because you were the one who didn't say it.
+TheDragonrage25 your exactly right people dont realize this and it pisses me off sugar = energy and if HFCS is really not bad and its just like sugar then by that logic as long as you exercise regularly it shouldnt even be a problem
Actually, Americans are exercising more than ever, but the weight loss isn't happening. It's got to be because of our diet; it's the big difference between us and the rest of the world. Ever hear of foreigners complaining that when they come to the US, everything tastes sweet and they gain weight? Yeah. You're kidding yourself if you think this is all about exercise.
Yamchachacha that was an amusing read most of the "exercise" i see people do is less than 30minutes what they do is laughable and it shows they also dont exercise regularly to make matters worse your kidding yourself if diet has that much of an impact unless your competing in the olympics there is no real need to diet this whole dieting is a fat peoples excuse that dont know how to work out also Ronnie Coleman is Mr.Olympia and guess what? he has fucking french fries with his chicken so keep telling yourself diet has a major impact
Game Freak You're a pain to read. Use periods every once in a while. When I talk about 'diet' I don't mean those fad diets people obsess over. People can eat french fries and be healthy. But you can't eat nothing but Big Macs and be healthy. Diet is literally just the word for what you eat. The entire concept of weight is calories in/calories out. If you eat more than you burn you're going to gain weight, and the opposite is also true. Exercise is important but it's mostly just so you can burn off whatever you put in your body.
Calling standard table sugar a mixture of glucose and sucrose is like calling water a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Glucose and fructose are both C6H12O6. The difference is that the molecules are put together somewhat differently. Table sugar (both cane and beet) is made of sucrose, which is C12H22O11. Structurally, it is essentially a glucose molecule stuck to a fructose molecule, but with a few missing atoms.
Ya'll should make a video on hydrogenated oil and why it's so bad for us. A doctor who specializes in taking old people off unnecessary medications (medications to treat side effects of other medications until they're on 20 pills a day sort of people) told me that I shouldn't eat anything with hydrogenated oil in it and now I avoid it more than I avoid high fructose corn syrup and agave nectar (which she also told me to avoid while I was at it, since it's relatively easy to avoid while still eating everything I like).
My doctor tells me the same thing. Sugar is sugar and no matter what kind you use, it should be used very sparingly! I switched my family from syrup to pumpkin or peach butter from our local farmer's market.
The reason why you guys in the States end up having so much HFCS in everything over sugar is due to the taxation of imported sugar in the late 70s, and the subsidisation of domestic corn crops. Therefore it's a far cheaper sweetener to use in food/drink manufacture in the US, and most companies that used to use sugar moved over to HFCS in the 80s. (There's a popular conspiracy theory that claims the whole "New Coke" debacle was Coca Cola's attempt to swap the ingredients without people making a fuss. Yeah. That worked well if that's true then.) Over here in the UK we still get our Coke and Pepsi flavoured with good old sugar, then again, we also get some kind of green liquid that is Mountain Dew in name only (totally different ingredients), meaning if I want the real deal I have to get imported US cans, preferably throwback, or ones from an Asian food store (made in Dubai, same ingredients as US dew, but with sugar, so essentially the same as throwback)
There is a side benefit, though - HFCS is sweeter than straight sucrose for the same mass, so the resulting finished product has fewer calories. The flip side is that corn syrup does have a slightly different, slightly caramelly mouthfeel, and I think most people do prefer the taste and mouthfeel of straight-up sucrose.
Just another great example of the US government caringly making decisions that benefit the citizens. And by "citizens" I mean "corporations" of course.
I'm surprised how many people missed that regular table sugar has a 50/50 glucose to fructose ratio. HFCS 45/55 so it's basically processed the same by the body
This was a great explanation!! Especially for non health conscious people who feed their kids high amounts of fructose thinking the food is just food. I like the part about having more vegetables than fruits also and the comparison to agave. Keep it up!!
If anyone is looking for a better sweetener, I recommend stevia extract. It's derived from the leaf of the stevia plant. It's about 40 times sweeter than table sugar, and it can't be digested by humans, so it has zero Calories.
Corn is an amazing crop that, if used properly, can benefit mankind. Atm, many corporations use lesser forms of corn as a cheap substitute ingredient, leading many people to shy away from it's magnificence.

The thing about fructose is it has to be used fast. It's ideal to use it immediately before, during, or immediately after intense exercise. Then you can actually benefit from it. I think the problem with fructose and obesity isn't entirely an issue with the fructose it self, but rather people aren't physically active enough.
Miles Wright No man like High fructose corn syrup stores fat in your liver overall slows down your metabolism. Just because you are moderately physically active doesn't resolve the issue. To burn that fat in the liver that you consume from high fructose you basically have to be athletic which in today’s society is impossible to do because let's face the fact we are all mostly living a sanitary life style. High fructose corn syrup is bad though. It developes a disease Non Alcoholic fatty liver disease which is literally the same disease as drunk person has after abusing alcohol literally. I had that disease and let me tell you when I stop consuming High fructose corn syrup and ate vegetables and exercise hard core, it literally went away after that. I mean you seriously can have sanitary life style and be skinny but you have to eat healthy and high fructose corn syrup is the exact opposite of healthy.I mean after I stop consuming High fructose corn syrup I literally lost 70 pounds and all those years when I fat I was wondering why didn't lose weight when I literally did the same excersize as other skinny people. But now I am skinny and I live a sanitary life now but I stop eating high fructose corn syrup and I am still skinny up to this day. I don't know about you but that proves it at all. Saying high fructose corn syrups is not bad is like saying saturated fat isn't bad because sure it isn't bad if you actually burn and use that fat and that is true for athletes.

Don't forget HFCS and Agava Nectar, stuff like that turn into fat thats TRAPPED in your liver, like beer does. if you drink soda like a alchoholic, like alot of people actually do, you can get liver failure. thats what happened to my ex's dad sadly. and he didnt even weigh over 250.
too much of one thing is always bad. but i do love my sugar in most forms. dont be fooled about high fructose corn syrup, its those artificial chemical sweeteners that are the worst for you.
One thing Trace neglected to mention: HFCS 55 (55% fructose) is not the only form of HFCS. Any sort of HFCS that's used in food will actually typically be *HFCS 42* (42% fructose), which is *less fructose than cane sugar (sucrose)*, not more.
I am yet to see a video or an article talking about the dangers of fructose mention the benefits it has over glucose. The fact that it isn't a ready-to-use source of energy that gets injected directly into your bloodstream means its glycemic index is 5 times lower than that of glucose. Besides, it's sweeter so you need to use less when preparing food.
Look up the GI Index. This index ranks carbohydrates/sugars on how quickly your body converts these into glucose (the form of sugar your body uses). Quickly absorbed carbohydrates will be more likely to be converted to fat because your body will be getting a large amount of glucose in a short period of time. Your body can only use or store so much glucose, so the rest is converted to fat for later use. Eating more complex (low GI) carbohydrates and less simple (high GI) carbohydrates "IS THE KEY" to losing body fat. FYI-Fiber has a ranking of 0 because it is indigestible and Glucose is ranked a 100 because it requires no digestion just absorption.
The key to having a healthy body composition is calories in vs. calories out. Low GI carbohydrates digest much slower, thus causing you to feel more satiated. You will be taking in large amounts of glucose in a short period of time because of the lack of willpower. If you have nothing but Count Chocula that day, and it fits your caloric maintenance, you won't gain a single ounce of fat.
***** There are secondary effects on metabolism that you are not considering. The rate at which your body uses calories is affected by the type of food eaten and how these calories are consumed throughout the day. For example, if your daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories and you consume 2000 calories in one large meal of Count Chocula you will still gain weight. How is this possible? Your metabolic rate will slow down if you eat like this and your daily caloric intake will no longer be 2000 calories but say 1850. It is still technically calories in vs calories out but the amount of calories you can consume without gaining weight decreases the more unhealthily you eat.
Theron Sax What is your citation for this argument? This study demonstrated that only after 60 hours of fasting, the metabolic began to slow down, and slows significantly after 72-96 hours. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3661473
The glycemic index is useless to a normal person. The glycemic index was invented for those with type 2 diabetics because soon their beta cells could not release a hormone called "amylin" that slows down the release of glucose regardless of the food's rate of digestion.
Your body won't turn fructose or any other carbohydrate into fat when you eat "a lot" of it as you say. The carbohydrates that are not used instantly by your body will get stored as glycogen in the muscle and liver and not as body fat, except if you're in a caloric surplus and your glycogen stores are full. Besides that, it's impossible to add fat when your not in a caloric surplus. Thumps down for this video.
rift0tripper this is way too basic knowledge for someone with even a slight interest in nutrition to even debate about. Google it and you will find tons of sources.
AWinterDemise Fructose, as well as all other carbohydrates will get transformed into glucose in your body. Even when you eat more protein than your body needs it will be converted to glucose so it can be used as energy. Your argument is invalid.
We all need a certain amount of calories, protein, fibre, omega-6, omega-3, vitamins and minerals. When you control for *all* these factors, does it really matter where your carbs come from?
DNews Glucose is not the by-product photosynthesis, it is the main (desired) product with oxygen and water as the by-products. Also please stop using the word natural in this sense. It is very unhelpful. Fructose the same the same molecule no matter how you make it. Finally, what evidence is there that fructose is really worse than glucose and works in the way you describe (causes fat gain faster)? The only evidence I could see looks rather weak and the mode of action is based on speculation. Please show me a reference if I am wrong the but the UC Davis study does not go far enough. To me, whether it is glucose or fructose, the same amount of calories will lead to the same amount of weight again and I need more convincing to the contrary if I am going to believe what you said (think about the first law of thermodynamics). I found this to be very poor reporting, please improve.
"Fructose the same the same molecule no matter how you make it." False. Sugars and proteins have be flipped in space. This is called handedness or chirality. Nature only produces right-handed sugars and our bodies can only use right-handed sugars properly. Making sugars (or proteins, or artificially via chemically process can produce a product that is a 50/50 split of left-handed sugars (bad) vs right-handed sugars (normal). This is not natural.
MegaBro thank you for the high school chemistry lesson but we would like a reference to chirality being a problem in HFCS not regarding life in general. You will find that fructose in HFCS is made by an enzyme so will be correct handedness for life. QED. Also if Wikipedia is good for references, see this as my reference: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup
Soo... sugar is bad and good, fructose is good and bad;and glucose is bad and good. Thank you for the epic value of the information in your video, you have truly set a new standad in education.
4 months ago I watched a video that said corn syrup is bad for you and i stoped eating corn syrup it was kinda hard because most products have it. Once I stopped I lost 15 pounds so I recommended g on a corn supply diet I eat like maybe one snack a week that has corn syrup
Dnews, love you guys. You are constantly putting out quality videos of applicable knowledge for the world. I enjoyed this one because it cleared some things up for me about fructose. Keep it up you guys are great!
My AP bio class just read an article about HFCS and its supposed affects on obesity. It came out as non falsifiable that HFCS can contribute to obesity but there's some variables that weren't considered. Literally just put some agave nectar in my tea before watching this video ... thinking it was fine after it said "all natural agave nectar"
If you compare the fructose composition of sucrose, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), or agave, there is no one product that is "better" than the other. They are ALL BAD. To say sucrose is better than HFCS or agave, because it has less fructose, is like saying being shot by a single round of a pistol is "better" than being by shot multiple rounds from a machine gun. The point is you should not have to make choice between a bad scenario, and something slightly worse, and then conclude that the bad scenario is therefore good by comparison. The reason why HFCS has been more demonized than sucrose or agave is because it is far cheaper to manufacture than sucrose or agave. Thus HFCS makes much of the supersized portions and processed foods cost less. The truth is regardless of the percentage of fructose, it should be avoided. One can, and should eat whole fruit, but almost any nutrient you can get from even whole fruit, you can get a greater abundance of that same nutrient from eating low sugar vegetables instead. So when choosing between sugary fruits or vegetables to obtain nutrients, favor vegetables. Finally, while it is technically true , as Trace stated, that glucose is generally safe, this is not the case if the individual is insulin resistant. Once an individual becomes insulin resistant, even glucose, such as what you find in wheat, rice, potatoes, tapioca, etc can be deleterious. Insulin resistance is the driver behind rise of obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease, and possibly some cancers. The problem is that because the American diet is so high in fructose, more and more people are becoming insulin resistant, and therefore should limit their consumption of starches as well.
The image accompanying high fructose corn syrup was maple syrup, it was the taster set of four grades of all natural maple syrup. Nothing to do with high fructose corn syrup.
@V. As someone whose family has a legacy of making and selling maple syrup, I can tell you that pure maple syrup has zero additives and that people who produce true maple syrup follow strict guidelines and take a lot of pride in the purity of the product.
I OBJECT! Saying table sugar is 50-50 glucose fructose isnt entirely accurate, sure it is technically true, but the glucose fructose molecules are arranged as disaccharides, which means table sugar exists as 100% SUCROSE. While yes Sucrose is metabolized into fructose and glucose once it enters the body, I have yet to see specific research into the possible biological processes triggered by that metabolic conversion. I demand studies comparing rats fed with sucrose against rats fed with equal amount of a 50- 50 fructose glucose blend to analyze any special effects sucrose as a disacharride has on the body
a sucrose molecule is the result of one glucose and one fructose molecule 1:1 ratio, and because they have the same molar mass, you can safely say 50-50.
Ali Hussain Bitch did you READ my whole post? I did point that out, and I also pointed out that it being a DISACHARIDE might have some unique effect on the body that is different than if it was just two separate monosacharides
Sugar is bad, if I eat too much sweets biscuits, chips and carbs my skin gets an eczema type red rash on my face. If I eat healthy and not too much stuff like lollies or white carbs its normal, I think eczema is an early symptom of diabetes, why is the sugar doing that, how does too much sugar cause a rash? I feel like I'm causing some sort of damage with the high blood sugar levels and my body can't reduce it well with insulin. If I cut out too much sugary foods for like a week I can tolerate more sugar, like my body has healed, the sugar levels have dropped so I can tolerate more cause there is less in blood stream.
If you do something on fructose you should mention fructose intolerance ... I have been diagnosed with fructose (and lactose) intolerance after going through a series of hydrogen breath tests and, although we know what causes lactose intolerance (absence of a genetic mutation), it seems that nobody really knows the cause of fructose intolerance! The consequences can affect the stomach (acidity, GORD, gastritis), gut and bowel and the liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) hence anything between annoying to potentially life threatening.
So what about honey ? I thought one of the great things about it was that it didn't spike your blood sugar and that it actually helped keep your blood sugar stable. Yes ? No ?
Trace alluded to the fact that fructose is sweeter. That is, you need less fructose (and hence, calories) to achieve the same level of sweetness in your food.
Am i the only one that notices HFCS is much more addicting than sugar and is way sweeter and cheaper. Seriously, try oreos witnout HFCS (costco only) and then try the Oreos with HFCS. The ones with HFCS is going to be super addictive and you may end up eating the whole packet quickly. However the ones without HFCS, you can feel how much more fresh it is and you can feel a limit of how much to eat.
+Wicked Lee, I agree. High fructose corn syrup has been proven to cause acne, rash, diarrhea, headaches, loss of memory, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing, anaphylaxis, diseases, and death. Bon app a tite!
Two weeks ago I quit drinking pop and started drinking juice. I lost 14.5 pounds in 2 weeks. I was shocked. They say juice is just as bad as pop, but it worked for me.
Maury P The juice you but from the supermarket isn't good for you, it's just a LOT of sugar, water, some flavoring, and a tiny bit of fruit extract. If you make your juice yourself then yeah it's a better a alternative, but stay away from the market stuff. As an experiment, buy a food scale and weigh the exact amount of sugar that's written on the back label of your juice. That amount of sugar is only in 1 cup of that juice.
Anything that has calories converts to sugar once it's consumed. If it didn't we would die. Diabetics are people whose cells are not responding to the sugar or can't produce it. That can get to be a huge problem if it's bad enough. Meat just takes longer to convert than a soft drink does. The problem with too many sweets is it's a poor nutrition source for vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. Your body doesn't know if you ate a potato or drank a soft drink. The cells see the same thing in both instances, sugar. What they fail to see drinking the soft drink is vitamins and minerals. There is a little but not enough to justify all the calories. HFCS won't kill you as fast as texting while driving.
Which is worse, a fire in your kitchen burning your house down or a fire in your bathroom burning your house down? A little fire might not burn down your entire house but 'too much' fire will burn your house down no matter where or how it starts. There is no such thing as 'healthy sugar' or a 'healthy amount' of sugar you should eat. The ideal amount of processed sugar is none, because you'll get plenty from natural sources like fruit. The best you can do nowadays is just limit your intake to 'just a little' to limit the damage because it's in most things you can buy off the shelf at the store. If you haven't ever turned that package around and looked at the nutrition facts on the back where it reports the sugar content, I think you'll be surprised what has added sugar in it. Many things that have no business being sweet have sugar added. Because of the effect it has on the brain (which basically makes it ignore the fact that you're full), it is beneficial to put sugar in a product so the customer will eat more of it, even if the product itself shouldn't taste sweet.
High fructose corn syrup is worse because of unjustified import quotas on sugar that raise the price on foreign sugar by restricting supply. This makes high fructose corn syrup a cheaper alternative to use which raises the demand for corn ultimately leading to increased prices. The only ones who benefit from this system are corn farmers and only slightly. Free trade FTW.
there really is no sugar that is bad for you no matter where it comes from its all turned into energy and as long as you are not consuming excess sugar and that depends on your metabolic rate you will have no health problems
"Why don't we just use corn syrup that's just glucose?" Well you can, but it's definitely not going to be as sweet so you'd need more to have the same sweetness. That would probably be worse for you.
Maltodextrin is my favorite carbohydrate because.....it......well it's......it's a carb that has some insane glycemic indexes. So if I take it with fiber, it should take longer to metabolize right?
and now I know why I have been getting intense pains on my right sides under my ribs when I was at my soccer tournament. because I ly rally at too much sugars since I had artificial juice not water and fries for lunch
You're stating it's not "bad" at the end of the video, but every fact you've stated about it makes it sound like a sneaky villain compared to natural sugar.
I know that artificial sweeteners like aspartame have 0 calories but I read in a few reports that even though it is so, the sweetness still tricks your body into releasing insulin. Is there any truth to this because I want to watch my calories/sugar intake and maintain good insulin sensitivity.
redflamelcd Heard that as well, and oddly enough it seems like really taste alone is what apparently makes that happen. But still more studies needed AFAIK.
redflamelcd I believe you have it correct, taste is how the body detects sugar and will thus release insulin as a result. Eating too many artificial sweeteners is definitely one cause of diabetes. Popular names to stay away from: aspartame, saccharin, sucralose (splenda)
If you want to get cancer and die, keep eating artificial sweeteners. You people also trust Rumsfeld, and that fucker siphoned trillions of dollars from the people and even had an "event" unfold the following day to take care of the evidence in September, 2001. Dude, Aspartame is pure poison. These corrupt pigs all invest in the company and others like it because it's profitable for them to FEAST off the rotting fat American corpses, Walking Undead...motherfuckers.

All I know is that Mexican coke (made with real sugar) tastes way better than our crappy HFCS coke.
Worst thing ever invented. Banned in Europe
***** What is banned in Europe?
*****
HFCS is not banned in Europe.
***** do a blind taste test with multiple people if you want to make an assertion like that.
MsHojat That taste test has already been performed on store shelves across America. They used to only be available at Mexican shops, but now they're everywhere. You can buy glass-bottled Mexican cokes in the checkout line at Wal-mart. Pepsi has released packs of Pepsi and Mountain Dew made with real sugar as a permanent fixture at most major grocery stores. The market has spoken; sugar tastes better!

You wonder why obesity is rampant in the U.S., its pretty self-explanatory, isn't it?
+Alan Bowers It's rampant because Americans are too lazy to exercise.
+TheDragonrage25 your exactly right people dont realize this and it pisses me off sugar = energy and if HFCS is really not bad and its just like sugar then by that logic as long as you exercise regularly it shouldnt even be a problem
Actually, Americans are exercising more than ever, but the weight loss isn't happening. It's got to be because of our diet; it's the big difference between us and the rest of the world. Ever hear of foreigners complaining that when they come to the US, everything tastes sweet and they gain weight? Yeah. You're kidding yourself if you think this is all about exercise.
Yamchachacha
that was an amusing read most of the "exercise" i see people do is less than 30minutes what they do is laughable and it shows they also dont exercise regularly to make matters worse your kidding yourself if diet has that much of an impact unless your competing in the olympics there is no real need to diet this whole dieting is a fat peoples excuse that dont know how to work out also Ronnie Coleman is Mr.Olympia and guess what? he has fucking french fries with his chicken so keep telling yourself diet has a major impact
Game Freak You're a pain to read. Use periods every once in a while.
When I talk about 'diet' I don't mean those fad diets people obsess over. People can eat french fries and be healthy. But you can't eat nothing but Big Macs and be healthy. Diet is literally just the word for what you eat. The entire concept of weight is calories in/calories out. If you eat more than you burn you're going to gain weight, and the opposite is also true. Exercise is important but it's mostly just so you can burn off whatever you put in your body.
Calling standard table sugar a mixture of glucose and sucrose is like calling water a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen.
Glucose and fructose are both C6H12O6. The difference is that the molecules are put together somewhat differently.
Table sugar (both cane and beet) is made of sucrose, which is C12H22O11. Structurally, it is essentially a glucose molecule stuck to a fructose molecule, but with a few missing atoms.
Ya'll should make a video on hydrogenated oil and why it's so bad for us. A doctor who specializes in taking old people off unnecessary medications (medications to treat side effects of other medications until they're on 20 pills a day sort of people) told me that I shouldn't eat anything with hydrogenated oil in it and now I avoid it more than I avoid high fructose corn syrup and agave nectar (which she also told me to avoid while I was at it, since it's relatively easy to avoid while still eating everything I like).
Reeces #1
My doctor tells me the same thing. Sugar is sugar and no matter what kind you use, it should be used very sparingly! I switched my family from syrup to pumpkin or peach butter from our local farmer's market.
I came here to learn more about Corn Syrup, and I left more confused than ever!😶
It's bad for you, don't get it.
Never consume anything with HFC syrup!
Sugar is like a set of natural breasts, high fructose corn sirup is like implants FAKE.
Eat it, just eat it. You want to be tough, but you do what you can
So eat it, but you want to be bad, just eat it.
The reason why you guys in the States end up having so much HFCS in everything over sugar is due to the taxation of imported sugar in the late 70s, and the subsidisation of domestic corn crops. Therefore it's a far cheaper sweetener to use in food/drink manufacture in the US, and most companies that used to use sugar moved over to HFCS in the 80s.
(There's a popular conspiracy theory that claims the whole "New Coke" debacle was Coca Cola's attempt to swap the ingredients without people making a fuss. Yeah. That worked well if that's true then.)
Over here in the UK we still get our Coke and Pepsi flavoured with good old sugar, then again, we also get some kind of green liquid that is Mountain Dew in name only (totally different ingredients), meaning if I want the real deal I have to get imported US cans, preferably throwback, or ones from an Asian food store (made in Dubai, same ingredients as US dew, but with sugar, so essentially the same as throwback)
There is a side benefit, though - HFCS is sweeter than straight sucrose for the same mass, so the resulting finished product has fewer calories. The flip side is that corn syrup does have a slightly different, slightly caramelly mouthfeel, and I think most people do prefer the taste and mouthfeel of straight-up sucrose.
The HFCS coke tastes like cough syrup. I prefer the imported stuff from mexico that comes in a glass bottle.
Just another great example of the US government caringly making decisions that benefit the citizens. And by "citizens" I mean "corporations" of course.
I prefer sugar cane's sugar in my foods.
Brown sugar for me. That's the real sugar.
@@Crucio_Occidere same thing
Food producers HIDE in the ingredients list sugar by other names.
We need HONEST food labels to help us make good choices.
I'm surprised how many people missed that regular table sugar has a 50/50 glucose to fructose ratio. HFCS 45/55 so it's basically processed the same by the body
we definitely need more videos like this showing the health benefits or diss benefits of certain food items.
I prefer cane sugar or sugar in the raw. They taste way better.
So u like glucose and fructose
Mitchell White NO MORE CANCER.
That's why all the soda from mexico tastes better than the soda in america; just read the ingredients.
SeabasR I know, right? That, and the cocaine.
frostedcube56 Does this offend you?
This was a great explanation!! Especially for non health conscious people who feed their kids high amounts of fructose thinking the food is just food. I like the part about having more vegetables than fruits also and the comparison to agave. Keep it up!!
*"Fructose is not that bad, but too much of it is."*
*"Fructose does not tell your body that you have had enough sugar when you really have."*
Yes, those are both things stated in the video.
lishde they contradict each other
Mcsteveberry The second statement is very true.
No those statements don’t contradict each other because you have the consciousness to decide when to stop eating food that’s high in fructose
Wynter Fox
Corn isn't a fruit
If anyone is looking for a better sweetener, I recommend stevia extract. It's derived from the leaf of the stevia plant. It's about 40 times sweeter than table sugar, and it can't be digested by humans, so it has zero Calories.
I quit soda three months ago but I got really bored of water and juice so now I'm drinking soda occasionally (around 3 bottles a month)
Juice is mostly just as bad as soda
Corn is an amazing crop that, if used properly, can benefit mankind. Atm, many corporations use lesser forms of corn as a cheap substitute ingredient, leading many people to shy away from it's magnificence.

The thing about fructose is it has to be used fast. It's ideal to use it immediately before, during, or immediately after intense exercise. Then you can actually benefit from it.
I think the problem with fructose and obesity isn't entirely an issue with the fructose it self, but rather people aren't physically active enough.
Miles Wright
No man like High fructose corn syrup stores fat in your liver overall slows down your metabolism. Just because you are moderately physically active doesn't resolve the issue. To burn that fat in the liver that you consume from high fructose you basically have to be athletic which in today’s society is impossible to do because let's face the fact we are all mostly living a sanitary life style.
High fructose corn syrup is bad though. It developes a disease Non Alcoholic fatty liver disease which is literally the same disease as drunk person has after abusing alcohol literally. I had that disease and let me tell you when I stop consuming High fructose corn syrup and ate vegetables and exercise hard core, it literally went away after that.
I mean you seriously can have sanitary life style and be skinny but you have to eat healthy and high fructose corn syrup is the exact opposite of healthy.I mean after I stop consuming High fructose corn syrup I literally lost 70 pounds and all those years when I fat I was wondering why didn't lose weight when I literally did the same excersize as other skinny people. But now I am skinny and I live a sanitary life now but I stop eating high fructose corn syrup and I am still skinny up to this day.
I don't know about you but that proves it at all. Saying high fructose corn syrups is not bad is like saying saturated fat isn't bad because sure it isn't bad if you actually burn and use that fat and that is true for athletes.

Don't forget HFCS and Agava Nectar, stuff like that turn into fat thats TRAPPED in your liver, like beer does. if you drink soda like a alchoholic, like alot of people actually do, you can get liver failure. thats what happened to my ex's dad sadly. and he didnt even weigh over 250.
Dayton Sander Alcohol harms the liver?! No way, never heard that before!!!11 :O
I said the corn syrup can do that. Smart ass.
too much of one thing is always bad. but i do love my sugar in most forms.
dont be fooled about high fructose corn syrup, its those artificial chemical sweeteners that are the worst for you.
One thing Trace neglected to mention: HFCS 55 (55% fructose) is not the only form of HFCS. Any sort of HFCS that's used in food will actually typically be *HFCS 42* (42% fructose), which is *less fructose than cane sugar (sucrose)*, not more.
I'm addicted to this channel ... Good job guys!!!
This was informative and interesting. Thanks!
I am yet to see a video or an article talking about the dangers of fructose mention the benefits it has over glucose.
The fact that it isn't a ready-to-use source of energy that gets injected directly into your bloodstream means its glycemic index is 5 times lower than that of glucose. Besides, it's sweeter so you need to use less when preparing food.
Look up the GI Index. This index ranks carbohydrates/sugars on how quickly your body converts these into glucose (the form of sugar your body uses). Quickly absorbed carbohydrates will be more likely to be converted to fat because your body will be getting a large amount of glucose in a short period of time. Your body can only use or store so much glucose, so the rest is converted to fat for later use. Eating more complex (low GI) carbohydrates and less simple (high GI) carbohydrates "IS THE KEY" to losing body fat. FYI-Fiber has a ranking of 0 because it is indigestible and Glucose is ranked a 100 because it requires no digestion just absorption.
The key to having a healthy body composition is calories in vs. calories out. Low GI carbohydrates digest much slower, thus causing you to feel more satiated. You will be taking in large amounts of glucose in a short period of time because of the lack of willpower. If you have nothing but Count Chocula that day, and it fits your caloric maintenance, you won't gain a single ounce of fat.
***** There are secondary effects on metabolism that you are not considering. The rate at which your body uses calories is affected by the type of food eaten and how these calories are consumed throughout the day. For example, if your daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories and you consume 2000 calories in one large meal of Count Chocula you will still gain weight. How is this possible? Your metabolic rate will slow down if you eat like this and your daily caloric intake will no longer be 2000 calories but say 1850. It is still technically calories in vs calories out but the amount of calories you can consume without gaining weight decreases the more unhealthily you eat.
Theron Sax
What is your citation for this argument? This study demonstrated that only after 60 hours of fasting, the metabolic began to slow down, and slows significantly after 72-96 hours.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3661473
***** Nonsense
The glycemic index is useless to a normal person. The glycemic index was invented for those with type 2 diabetics because soon their beta cells could not release a hormone called "amylin" that slows down the release of glucose regardless of the food's rate of digestion.
There are various concentrations of HFCS available:
HFCS 42
HFCS 55
HFCS 65
HFCS 90
The numbers indicate the % of fructose.

Sure to be so sweet, you won't know what hit you. Sure hope you make it out alive. 😉
Your body won't turn fructose or any other carbohydrate into fat when you eat "a lot" of it as you say. The carbohydrates that are not used instantly by your body will get stored as glycogen in the muscle and liver and not as body fat, except if you're in a caloric surplus and your glycogen stores are full. Besides that, it's impossible to add fat when your not in a caloric surplus. Thumps down for this video.
Your sources! If you are going to debate post your findings.
rift0tripper this is way too basic knowledge for someone with even a slight interest in nutrition to even debate about. Google it and you will find tons of sources.
That is true for glucose, not fructose. Fructose gets stored as fat, unfortunately.
AWinterDemise Fructose, as well as all other carbohydrates will get transformed into glucose in your body. Even when you eat more protein than your body needs it will be converted to glucose so it can be used as energy. Your argument is invalid.
Who told you news was always right?
We all need a certain amount of calories, protein, fibre, omega-6, omega-3, vitamins and minerals.
When you control for *all* these factors, does it really matter where your carbs come from?
DNews Glucose is not the by-product photosynthesis, it is the main (desired) product with oxygen and water as the by-products.
Also please stop using the word natural in this sense. It is very unhelpful. Fructose the same the same molecule no matter how you make it.
Finally, what evidence is there that fructose is really worse than glucose and works in the way you describe (causes fat gain faster)? The only evidence I could see looks rather weak and the mode of action is based on speculation. Please show me a reference if I am wrong the but the UC Davis study does not go far enough. To me, whether it is glucose or fructose, the same amount of calories will lead to the same amount of weight again and I need more convincing to the contrary if I am going to believe what you said (think about the first law of thermodynamics).
I found this to be very poor reporting, please improve.
good assessment
"Fructose the same the same molecule no matter how you make it."
False. Sugars and proteins have be flipped in space. This is called handedness or chirality. Nature only produces right-handed sugars and our bodies can only use right-handed sugars properly.
Making sugars (or proteins, or artificially via chemically process can produce a product that is a 50/50 split of left-handed sugars (bad) vs right-handed sugars (normal). This is not natural.
MegaBro Can you source please.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_%28chemistry%29#In_biology
MegaBro thank you for the high school chemistry lesson but we would like a reference to chirality being a problem in HFCS not regarding life in general.
You will find that fructose in HFCS is made by an enzyme so will be correct handedness for life. QED.
Also if Wikipedia is good for references, see this as my reference:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_fructose_corn_syrup
and now people think its okay to consume HFCS and stop ignoring the fact of taking it in lesser quantities.
Soo... sugar is bad and good, fructose is good and bad;and glucose is bad and good. Thank you for the epic value of the information in your video, you have truly set a new standad in education.

Inaccurate
4 months ago I watched a video that said corn syrup is bad for you and i stoped eating corn syrup it was kinda hard because most products have it. Once I stopped I lost 15 pounds so I recommended g on a corn supply diet I eat like maybe one snack a week that has corn syrup
HFCS comes from GMO corn.
it's also chemically altered. 😑
Im confused ,is it bad for you or no ?
Depends on who funded the studies lmao.
Why not just stick to Honey? Thats pretty natural and sweet.

Why dont we use glucose more instead of fructose. since glucose actually tells your body when to stop consuming it?
If you compare the fructose composition of sucrose, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), or agave, there is no one product that is "better" than the other. They are ALL BAD. To say sucrose is better than HFCS or agave, because it has less fructose, is like saying being shot by a single round of a pistol is "better" than being by shot multiple rounds from a machine gun. The point is you should not have to make choice between a bad scenario, and something slightly worse, and then conclude that the bad scenario is therefore good by comparison. The reason why HFCS has been more demonized than sucrose or agave is because it is far cheaper to manufacture than sucrose or agave. Thus HFCS makes much of the supersized portions and processed foods cost less. The truth is regardless of the percentage of fructose, it should be avoided. One can, and should eat whole fruit, but almost any nutrient you can get from even whole fruit, you can get a greater abundance of that same nutrient from eating low sugar vegetables instead. So when choosing between sugary fruits or vegetables to obtain nutrients, favor vegetables. Finally, while it is technically true , as Trace stated, that glucose is generally safe, this is not the case if the individual is insulin resistant. Once an individual becomes insulin resistant, even glucose, such as what you find in wheat, rice, potatoes, tapioca, etc can be deleterious. Insulin resistance is the driver behind rise of obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease, and possibly some cancers. The problem is that because the American diet is so high in fructose, more and more people are becoming insulin resistant, and therefore should limit their consumption of starches as well.
The image accompanying high fructose corn syrup was maple syrup, it was the taster set of four grades of all natural maple syrup. Nothing to do with high fructose corn syrup.
@V. As someone whose family has a legacy of making and selling maple syrup, I can tell you that pure maple syrup has zero additives and that people who produce true maple syrup follow strict guidelines and take a lot of pride in the purity of the product.
I OBJECT!
Saying table sugar is 50-50 glucose fructose isnt entirely accurate, sure it is technically true, but the glucose fructose molecules are arranged as disaccharides, which means table sugar exists as 100% SUCROSE. While yes Sucrose is metabolized into fructose and glucose once it enters the body, I have yet to see specific research into the possible biological processes triggered by that metabolic conversion. I demand studies comparing rats fed with sucrose against rats fed with equal amount of a 50- 50 fructose glucose blend to analyze any special effects sucrose as a disacharride has on the body
a sucrose molecule is the result of one glucose and one fructose molecule 1:1 ratio, and because they have the same molar mass, you can safely say 50-50.
Ali Hussain
Bitch did you READ my whole post? I did point that out, and I also pointed out that it being a DISACHARIDE might have some unique effect on the body that is different than if it was just two separate monosacharides

Sugar is bad, if I eat too much sweets biscuits, chips and carbs my skin gets an eczema type red rash on my face. If I eat healthy and not too much stuff like lollies or white carbs its normal, I think eczema is an early symptom of diabetes, why is the sugar doing that, how does too much sugar cause a rash? I feel like I'm causing some sort of damage with the high blood sugar levels and my body can't reduce it well with insulin. If I cut out too much sugary foods for like a week I can tolerate more sugar, like my body has healed, the sugar levels have dropped so I can tolerate more cause there is less in blood stream.
If you do something on fructose you should mention fructose intolerance ... I have been diagnosed with fructose (and lactose) intolerance after going through a series of hydrogen breath tests and, although we know what causes lactose intolerance (absence of a genetic mutation), it seems that nobody really knows the cause of fructose intolerance! The consequences can affect the stomach (acidity, GORD, gastritis), gut and bowel and the liver (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) hence anything between annoying to potentially life threatening.
i cut high fructose corn syrup from my diet as much as i can. even stopped buying arizona green teas. the black tea has no HFCS though.
RUclips: is corn syrup really bad for you
Me: drinks the whole bottle of it
Gross. This stuff is poisoning us. I don't want it! 😠
Excuse me? And? It's made from corn, it's natural, and, like sugar, it's fine in moderation?
So if it doesn't benefit us why do we make it?
So what about honey ? I thought one of the great things about it was that it didn't spike your blood sugar and that it actually helped keep your blood sugar stable. Yes ? No ?
Drink sodas with sugar long enough and you'll find the aftertaste of regular soda bitter...
If I want sweet, I use REAL white cane sugar.....I stopped eating HFCS, you will notice things are LESS SWEET !!!!
Trace alluded to the fact that fructose is sweeter. That is, you need less fructose (and hence, calories) to achieve the same level of sweetness in your food.
Am i the only one that notices HFCS is much more addicting than sugar and is way sweeter and cheaper.
Seriously, try oreos witnout HFCS (costco only) and then try the Oreos with HFCS. The ones with HFCS is going to be super addictive and you may end up eating the whole packet quickly. However the ones without HFCS, you can feel how much more fresh it is and you can feel a limit of how much to eat.
Have you ever noticed that when we eat corn , our poop contains corn. It's the body's way of saying. I don't need you , get out.

Maury P The juice you but from the supermarket isn't good for you, it's just a LOT of sugar, water, some flavoring, and a tiny bit of fruit extract.
If you make your juice yourself then yeah it's a better a
alternative, but stay away from the market stuff. As an experiment, buy a food scale and weigh the exact amount of sugar that's written on the back label of your juice. That amount of sugar is only in 1 cup of that juice.

Anything that has calories converts to sugar once it's consumed. If it didn't we would die. Diabetics are people whose cells are not responding to the sugar or can't produce it. That can get to be a huge problem if it's bad enough. Meat just takes longer to convert than a soft drink does. The problem with too many sweets is it's a poor nutrition source for vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. Your body doesn't know if you ate a potato or drank a soft drink. The cells see the same thing in both instances, sugar. What they fail to see drinking the soft drink is vitamins and minerals. There is a little but not enough to justify all the calories. HFCS won't kill you as fast as texting while driving.
Hmmm, care to shed some light on concentrated and non concentrated juice drink ?
hearing the intro music gives me nostalgia. That's all I have to say about that.
Which is worse, a fire in your kitchen burning your house down or a fire in your bathroom burning your house down?
A little fire might not burn down your entire house but 'too much' fire will burn your house down no matter where or how it starts.
There is no such thing as 'healthy sugar' or a 'healthy amount' of sugar you should eat. The ideal amount of processed sugar is none, because you'll get plenty from natural sources like fruit. The best you can do nowadays is just limit your intake to 'just a little' to limit the damage because it's in most things you can buy off the shelf at the store. If you haven't ever turned that package around and looked at the nutrition facts on the back where it reports the sugar content, I think you'll be surprised what has added sugar in it. Many things that have no business being sweet have sugar added. Because of the effect it has on the brain (which basically makes it ignore the fact that you're full), it is beneficial to put sugar in a product so the customer will eat more of it, even if the product itself shouldn't taste sweet.
High fructose corn syrup is worse because of unjustified import quotas on sugar that raise the price on foreign sugar by restricting supply. This makes high fructose corn syrup a cheaper alternative to use which raises the demand for corn ultimately leading to increased prices. The only ones who benefit from this system are corn farmers and only slightly. Free trade FTW.
there really is no sugar that is bad for you no matter where it comes from its all turned into energy and as long as you are not consuming excess sugar and that depends on your metabolic rate you will have no health problems
Amazing explanation. Thank you very much!
What about sugar alcohol sweeteners like Xylitol and Sorbitol compared to that? Is that better then Agave? Or worse then HFCS?
"Why don't we just use corn syrup that's just glucose?"
Well you can, but it's definitely not going to be as sweet so you'd need more to have the same sweetness. That would probably be worse for you.

You're stating it's not "bad" at the end of the video, but every fact you've stated about it makes it sound like a sneaky villain compared to natural sugar.
There is a word to describe substances that can only be metabolized by the liver (e.g. alcohol, fructose). Poison.

Glucose-Fructose is another name for high fructose corn syrup
I know that artificial sweeteners like aspartame have 0 calories but I read in a few reports that even though it is so, the sweetness still tricks your body into releasing insulin.
Is there any truth to this because I want to watch my calories/sugar intake and maintain good insulin sensitivity.
redflamelcd Heard that as well, and oddly enough it seems like really taste alone is what apparently makes that happen. But still more studies needed AFAIK.
redflamelcd I believe you have it correct, taste is how the body detects sugar and will thus release insulin as a result. Eating too many artificial sweeteners is definitely one cause of diabetes. Popular names to stay away from: aspartame, saccharin, sucralose (splenda)
If you want to get cancer and die, keep eating artificial sweeteners. You people also trust Rumsfeld, and that fucker siphoned trillions of dollars from the people and even had an "event" unfold the following day to take care of the evidence in September, 2001.
