How much high fructose corn syrup should you have?
Corn syrup is not necessary for a healthy diet and should be used in moderation, if at all.
Is fructose corn syrup more expensive sweeteners than cane or been sugar?
No. There is no corn syrup in pure honey. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous honey packers will add corn syrup to the honey. Also, some rogue beekeepers will feed their bees a fluid that includes high fructose corn syrup.
How is high fructose corn syrup bad for you?
it is sugar any thing too much is bad for you
Why do Oreo cookies in other countries like Ecuador have No high fructose corn syrup but they do in the US?
because in the US the government subsidises corn, which means it pays farmers to grow corn and now our country has so much corn that they dont know what to do with it so they experiment with it and made high fructose corn syrup and because it is cheaper than sugar because there is so much of it, big compaines like nabisco use corn syrup in the US because its cheaper.Also, it is illegal in some countries.
Is high fructose corn syrup healthy?
The jury is still out on this one. The safest bet is that too much of anything is generally unhealthy.
Is High Fructose Corn Syrup a completely different chemical from regular fructose and if so what is the chemical formula?
High fructose corn syrup, HFCS, is a blend of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Both sugars have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but have unique chemical structures. "Regular" fructose, found in fruit or sucrose ( table sugar) has the same chemical formula. Sucrose, however, is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose which means that the fructose and glucose are chemically linked. Therefore, the ratio of the fructose to glucose in sucrose is precisely 50:50, 1:1, and the %fructose cannot exceed 50%. This is not the case with HFCS. Depending on the needs of the manufacturers the %fructose can range from 42% to 90%. Dairy and baked products use 42%, Pepsi and Coke use 55% fructose, and low-cal products may contain as much as 90% fructose.
Is high fructose syrup bad for you?
Yes. Aside from being nothing but empty sugars, high fructose corn syrup has been linked to gastrointestinal problems as well. It's not as though corn syrup will harm you much more than any other empty sugar, but a person consuming large amounts of corn syrup is replacing calories that could have been from nutritious fruits and vegetables with a nothing less substitute. Answer: HFCS is banned in UK and about to be in Europe.
What is high fructose corn syrup?
High fructose corn syrup is a caloric sweetener made from corn. It has a composition that is similar to sugar or sucrose. The are two types of high fructose corn syrup commonly used in foods and beverages. HFCS-55 is made up of 55% fructose with the other 45% mainly glucose. It is commonly used as a sweetener in soda. HFCS-42 is made up of 42% fructose and the remaining 58% is primarily glucose. It is used in condiments, baked goods and fruit-flavored beverages.
Difference between high fructose corn syrup and invert sugar?
Functionally there is no difference. Both are ~50% glucose and ~50% fructose (HFCS can vary between 92% fructose and 42% fructose, most HFCS used in food is between 42% and 55% fructose, the balance being glucose). The following descriptions are by necessity simplified, but will serve to demonstrate the important aspects of the production of the two products. Invert sugar is sucrose (a molecule of fructose bonded to a molecule of glucose) mixed with a bit of water and heated. The water and heat cause a splitting of the sucrose molecule called hydrolysis. Often catalysts are added to speed the splitting, acid being a common catalyst (lemon juice, cream of tartar, etc.). The resulting syrup is free glucose and fructose in a bit of water. HFCS is made by taking corn starch (starch is a long chain of glucose molecules) and splitting it up into glucose. This is done by enzymes. The result from this is corn syrup, much like the corn syrup you can purchase in a supermarket. To turn the corn syrup into high fructose corn syrup it is mixed with a another enzyme which changes the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup is usually 92% fructose. Fructose is much sweeter than glucose (~1.8 times as sweet). To make a syrup that resembles the sweetness of invert sugar the 92% (HFC92) HFCS is mixed with corn syrup to get a final percentage of fructose around 42%-55% (HFC42 and HFC55). All the enzymes used in the process are removed before the syrup is used in food. While the two processes are different, it is obvious that the final product is virtually, and metabolically, identical. Jonathan Davey A.O.S. Culinary Arts, B.S. Food Science
