The London Times reports today that high fructose corn syrup is a factor in obesity and diabetes. The subjects consuming the same kcal of glucose did not experience the same metabolic storage patterns indicating the addition of HFCS in the amounts in the Standard American Diet(SAD) causes changes in the way the body stores and processes carbohydrates leading to metabolic syndrome and eventually to type 2 diabetes.The use of HFCS in almost every processed food makes this finding a rebuttal to industry studies which say there is no difference between glucose and HFCS in obesity provocation.The NIH says industry is wrong. How long until we treat this as a threat to our national security?
