Thanks for the explanation! I was snacking on a can of trail mix as I read this and it boasts on the front of the can “0 Trans Fat!” and when I looked at the ingredients I saw exactly what you said “partially hydrogenated cottonseed and/or soybean oils”

Is there an available list of beverages/foods that do not contain HFCS/fructose? Especially when it comes to children’s products. I would be grateful if anyone could provide some advice.

Thanks

You said, “Our body uses glucose, and only glucose, for energy.” This is incorrect. The body utilizes other biochemicals as well. In fact, more than 40% of total energy needs are derived from fat. Fat, glucose, and alcohol are all converted into ATP energy in the Krebs (citric acid) cycle. Here’s some discussion:

In fat catabolism, triglycerides are hydrolyzed to break them into fatty acids and glycerol. In the liver the glycerol can be converted into glucose via dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate by way of gluconeogenesis. In many tissues, especially heart tissue, fatty acids are broken down through a process known as beta oxidation which results in acetyl-CoA which can be used in the citric acid cycle. Beta oxidation of fatty acids with an odd number of methylene groups produces propionyl CoA, which is then converted into succinyl-CoA and fed into the citric acid cycle.[10]

The snapshot for Don’t Eat This Book is ALL messed up and shows only a bunch of porno words. I thought you might like to find out why and maybe fix it. By the way my email address isn’t put in properly as I’m concerned you may have been hacked in some way.

It’s a good thing that the word is getting out about high fructose corn syrup – pretty soon the big manufacturers will be forced to go back to real sugar die to consumer demand.

Companies like Vivi Beverages have popped up to specifically cater to a market that’s tired of artificial ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and brominated vegetable oil
