sorry but HFCS is not natural or benign       12/04/06 05:54 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota HFCS is not natural and the body does not digest it like sugar. The wikipedia page referenced had much to say about the bad effects of HFCS and the lobbyists if you read the whole thing or read this. Rats on a heavy fructose diet showed many major problems. HFCS is not used in the rest of the world and is produced with genetically engineered corn and enzymes. The body cannot metabolise HFCS like regular sugar and this causes additional weight gain than just the calories. This stuff is cheap for the food industry to use and extends shelf life and is addictive so the sugar industry keeps the propaganda out there as much as tobacco companies do. Like the way they have tried to squelch the introduction of stevia in the US. I think HFCS should be treated like sorbitol, MSG, olestra and the like for IBS sufferers. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
