My daughter is a molecular toxicology doctoral candidate at UC
Berkeley. She has kept me from using high fructose corn syrup for
several years now, the main reason being that fructose darts through
the intestinal lining without mediation, unlike regular sugar, which
undergoes several processes before it can get close to cellular walls.
I'm simplifying because I have to, but that is the general idea. (I
spent two months in San Francisco working on the Cindy Sheehan
campaign last year and one of the things I learned living there is
that if you buy Coca-Cola in a supermarket, it is sweetened with high
fructose corn syrup. If you buy it in a Mexican grocery, it contains
cane sugar! BTW, I never drink Coke, anyway; They don't use fructose
in beer.)
