	Carbohydrates - Corn syrup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The development of the various types of corn syrups, maltodextrins, and high-fructose corn syrup from corn starch sources could be called one of the greatest achievements in the sugar industry.
		Fructose is 30% sweeter than sucrose, on a weight basis, and twice as soluble as glucose at low temperatures so a 50% conversion of glucose to fructose overcomes both problems giving a stable syrup that is as sweet as a sucrose solution of the same concentration.
		For many purposes a 42% fructose syrup is perfectly satisfactory for use but it does not match the exacting criteria of the quality soft drink manufacturers as a replacement for sucrose in acidic soft drinks.

	High Fructose Corn Syrup
		High fructose corn syrup is cited by some nutritionists as a leading cause of obesity and is linked to diabetes.
		Fructose in particular has been implicated, and by association HFCS, but it may be the case that confusion has arisen between the effects of consuming pure fructose as compared to pure glucose, versus the effects of consuming mixtures of the two sugars from different sources.
		High triglyceride levels are believed to be linked to clogging of the arteries and may increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

	High fructose corn syrup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a newer and sweeter form of corn syrup.
		By increasing the fructose content of corn syrup (primarily glucose) through enzymatic processing, the syrup is more comparable to table sugar (sucrose) in sweetness.
		As noted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1996, the saccharide composition (glucose to fructose ratio) of HFCS is approximately the same as that of honey, invert sugar and the disaccharide sucrose (or table sugar).

		High fructose corn syrup means that a high percentage of the glucose is converted to fructose.
		The potential value of high fructose corn syrup, compared to standard corn syrup was easily grasped: a recipe that required a fixed amount of corn syrup to sweeten a food could afford to use less corn syrup without sacrificing any sweetness.
		Glucose corn syrup was never a serious rival to refined sugar in the sweeteners industry because it is not as sweet.

	washingtonpost.com: Sweet but Not So Innocent?
		Made from corn starch, high-fructose corn syrup is a thick liquid that contains two basic sugar building blocks, fructose and glucose, in roughly equal amounts.
		An advantage of high-fructose corn syrup is that it "tastes sweeter than refined sugar," making it a popular ingredient for food manufacturers because it enables them to use less, says George A. Bray, former director of Louisiana State University's Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge.
		They concluded that large quantities of fructose from a variety of sources, including table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, induce insulin resistance, impair glucose tolerance, produce high levels of insulin, boost a dangerous type of fat in the blood and cause high blood pressure in animals.

	High Fructose Corn Syrup
		High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a corn sweetener found in numerous foods and beverages on the grocery store shelves.
		Because high fructose corn syrup mixes easily, extends shelf-life and is as much as 20 percent cheaper than other sources of sugar, large-scale food manufacturers love it.
		That's in part because it is composed of 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose, which is similar to the 50-50 combination of fructose and glucose found in table sugar.

	HFCS Facts - What is HFCS
		High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener made from corn and can be found in numerous foods and beverages on grocery store shelves in the United States.
		In fact, HFCS is nearly identical in composition to table sugar (sucrose), which is composed of 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose.
		HFCS is composed of either 42 percent or 55 percent fructose, with the remaining sugars being primarily glucose and some higher sugars.

		You may already be familiar with the dangers of fructose that I’ve warned about in the past, but what you may not know is that high-fructose corn sweeteners that have been used to sweeten soft drinks and food since the 1970s are major contributors to the obesity epidemic in the United States.
		Unlike glucose, which the body uses, when one consumes large amounts of fructose it is a relatively unregulated source of fuel for the liver to convert to fat and cholesterol.
		Contrary to common belief, corn is a grain, not a vegetable, and is definitely not fit as a dietary staple and mainstay, primarily because it contains high amounts of sugar.

		Fructose, the sugar found in the corn-syrup sweeteners [High Fructose Corn Syrup is what is shown on food labels] used in many processed foods, may trick the body into thinking it's hungrier than it really is, causing people to eat more and risk becoming obese.

		And worse, much worse, obesity among children 12 to 19 — who consume a disproportionate amount of the soft drinks, fruit juice, sports drinks and packaged cookies and other baked goods that are sweetened with HFCS — increased from 4.2 percent in 1970 to 15.3 percent in 2000.
		Fructose adds to overeating because it does not trigger chemical messengers that tell the brain the stomach is full and no longer hungry, like food and drinks that contain regular refined sugar do.
