Sugar: The Bitter Truth (2009)

It's a 90 minute video, so to summarize:
- US decreased fat in processed food, but compensated with HFCS (corn syrup)
- HFCS contains fructose, which is poisonous in large quantities, which we are now eating (almost half a pound per day per person)
- the additional calories in processed food caused Americans to gain 25 pounds in 20 years
If you drink regular soda with HFCS, then you should switch to one can of cane sugar soda (from Mexico), or one diet can per day. Look at labels and avoid HFCS whenever possible.
You can do a quick reality check on the above by comparing group photos from the 1960s and today - nobody was fat back then, except for Mama Cass.
- lookdangerous 6y agoIs corn syrup (instead of HF corn syrup) ok to consume, or is it too pretty darn bad fer ya?
- redis_mlc 6y agoThe reporting says it's the fructose amount that's highest in importance, since the liver warehouses it, and that seems to cause metabolic diseases, followed lower in priority with large sucrose/glucose amounts. So fructose in a single fruit with natural fibers is ok, but half a kilo per week or more of raw fructose is toxic. This is a more watchable video with industry slides admitting there's a problem (similar to cigarette industry): The Secrets of Sugar - the fifth estate (2014) (42 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ksKkCOgTw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ksKkCOgTw I really encourage people to learn about this topic since it directly affects quality of life. If you get free soda at work, skip the HFCS containers.
