Point - Counterpoint on Fructose

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the most commonly sweeteners in our foods and drinks. It is cheap, readil,y available and supports our farms. But is it really good for humans?
Here are two views recently found on our Web.
1. The AMA recently supported fructose as healthy but it may have some political goals.

2. In contrast read what Dr. Joe Mercola has written about a media push to try and improve the image of fructose in the public eye.
Read what he wrote at www.sleekURL.com/?fructose2

Now that corn is being funneled into ethanol plants, the price of corn will go up and maybe we will see another sweetener appear at a lower cost.

High carb intake can raise your risk of high cholesterol, diabetes and raise your inflammatory symptoms. I encourage my patients to remove HFCS from their diets.
