How is it diffirent from the sucrose (table sugar)?

In the 1970s, soda companies in the worldswitchedfrom sucrose (table sugar) to high-fructosecornsyrup. High- fructose corn syrup is cheaper and morereadilyavailable.

But thetollof this change began showing up earlier in thisdecadewhen diabetes and obesity were finally being reviewed withurgencyandalarm. High-fructose wasconsideredtheculprit.

Both sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup share the same biochemistry.

They are bothmade ofglucose and fructose. They are bothprocessedfoods with no caloricbenefit. To be a beneficialcalorie, it mustcontainsome protein, minerals, antioxidants, vitamins, all of which areessentialto human life.

The difference between sucrose (sugar) and high-fructose corn syrup is the amount of fructose which they contain. High-fructose corn syrup has more fructose than sucrose.

Moreover, fructose must first be metabolized in theliverand then passed along. Some is stored in the liver andmuscles.The restisconvertedinto triglycerides; which is aformof fat. Because of this metabolizing process, it is believed that fructosecausesfattylivers,gout, insulinresistance, and other serious problems.

  gunduz, fruits also have fructose but they have other nutritions too such as proteins, vitamins etc. If the body takes fructose alone, I mean without the vitamins ..., then the liver turns some of it to fat.
