My mom actually was breaking out in hives and a few other digestion-related-allergy symptoms, and so she with guidance from a doctor started removing things from her diet until she was hardly eating anything at all, but was still getting the hives. Finally, when she removed the chocolate milk from her lunch, the hives cleared up. The chocolate milk was being sweetened with HFCS, and it was found that she has a corn allergy. If anyone thinks HFCS is in nearly everything in the USA, OMG, corn proteins show up basically _everything_, she even had a reaction to the glucose drip that they put her on while she was in the hospital once. Like, you think wheat has got to be in tons of things, and it is, it was like half a page in the allergy resource book she ended up getting, but corn went on for _two and a half pages._ Things you maybe wouldn’t even think of, like almost all fortified US wines. It’s kind of astonishing.

Meanwhile, they probably assume that more government regulation will make things better, when government regulation is precisely how high fructose corn syrup (among many other nutritional abominations) came to be a thing to begin with. First there are the health geeks at the FDA who want everything to be without flavour, and then you have the Keynesians at the Fed. And, if you want a better economy and for good food to be more affordable, you would make promoting Keynesian economics a capital crime.

I don't get how one would use the pronunciation of frucktose but not also use suckrose. If you think the "u" doesn't have an oooh sound in one word, why would you give it that sound in the other word?

I can't stop watching your content, Mr. Ragusea. It's all done well, and I'm generally learning pertinent info about things I thought I mostly knew about. The relative sweetness of fructose being the most basic example in this case. And the "excess free fructose" was totally new to me. I'm going to follow up on this topic. You have a talent for being both down-to-earth and an independent thinker, though not in a crazy, reactionary conspiracist way. Great show!

This is cool to see. For several years I thought I had an ulcer. I couldn't figure out what foods did it, but something would often trigger an agonizing pain my stomach. It would feel like being stabbed in the gut. Finally a few years ago I realized there seemed to be a correlation with drinking coke, eating watermelon, drinking tequila, eating apples, etc. and my this pain-- - The only correlation I could see between those seemingly random things was Fructose. So I searched the web, and using what little info I had, I found that paper on fructose mal-absorption. And it covered a litany of other issues that I thought were unrelated.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how much work that mom did to understand her daughter's allergy.

It’s not the fruit, it’s all the other food you eat. It reacts with the fruit acids and proteins, which are high in todays fruits and vegetables because they are bred and then picked way too green. It’s called unripe fruit syndrome. Go pick a fully ripe apple off a tree and eat it immediately, you will have no reaction unless your stomach is full of pizza or some such. Especially cooked starches. Which are why you have stomach problems. You see they don’t tell you …on purpose, that starch molecules are hundreds of sugar molecules in virtually indigestible chains. Totally indigestible if cooked, as each sugar molecule loses a hydrogen atom from the heat. It’s much more complicated than this video tries to convince the uneducated. The whole subject is so completely misrepresented in the media so they can sell cheap starchy foods to the masses and make a killing pretending it’s good for you. Starchy foods are the easiest to grow, store and process, and that’s why starch is like 60%-80% of the modern diet, cheap crap the corporations can make a fortune from.

Very similar story to fructose, msg and many other food myths out there... many overreact and assume its totally bad, with little evidence to show that it is the evil food product they make it out to be. Truth is that there are probably some (rare few) that may actually be affected by the dye in a real way, but most aren't. Humans are really, really good at confusing correlation with causation. We are pattern seekers and that gets in the way more often than not, especially when it seems to be a temporal (time) relationship - that is, Thing A happened AFTER I ate Thing B.

Many farmers fall under the category where the government actually takes 75% of their crop and sends it overseas for food aid or to make biofuel that makes our petrol go bad quicker and gums up our engines. It's literally against the law for them to take the crop they don't sell to the food industry to a farmers market and sell it themselves. And that's a major reason we spend billions of tax dollars in subsidies go farmers. You can be critical of companies but understand governments role in this. They're even worse.

It does do O.K. in things that do not require that much sugar (like apple pie). I think that yeast products (i.e. bread) require some amount of sugar to make rise properly.

Surprisingly balanced presentation. Seems the old adage applies. Eat more things that are plants, and less things made in plants.

Im surprised you didn’t address the satiety issue. While not uncontested, there are many studies that indicate that people consume more calories if Fructose goes above certain proportions of sweetened products due to feeling less full. I personally remember when HFCS showed up in fruit juices in 1982 that drinking it compared to non fortified juices not only made me terribly thirsty as it it were soda, but also made me jittery and hangry like having low blood sugar.

This is amazing and objective approach he takes here. I really appreciate that he didn't start off trying to either prove or disprove any thoughts. He followed the facts and delivered them in a clear and entertaining way (if you can say that entertainment in a video is like fructose and information is like glucose, you should not have elevated levels of entertainment or else the information gets harder and harder to absorb as life goes on). Very balanced and proper IMO.

Checkmate may, but I personally don't think I've *ever* heard it pronounced any way besides "fruck-tose". It's about where the syllable breaks, I think; "su-crose", the U is carrying the syllable. In Fructose, UC is a dipthing, which limits how you can reasonably pronounce it.

If you want to know what something sweetened just with glucose tastes like, Smarties are made almost entirely of glucose (along with some citric acid, calcium stearate, flavors, and colors). Sprees are another example (though with maltodextrin as well, which has basically no flavor). They definitely aren't as sweet as sugar cubes, but they are still very sweet.

Thank you for reminding me to never give into pre-made food my fiance likes getting them from time to time to give me a "break" but I like putting in the effort and make the food at home.

From what I understand, HFCS got into the food system post WW2 as a cheap way to increase the mass and texture of what food there was as there were food shortages and the average American was none the richer for it. Since then so many health problems like diabetes, fatty liver, metabolic syndrome and others have been on the rise. The large food industries could remove the stuff, but why would they, when they are there to make money and not care about the health of their customers...? As for the Fructose allergy, it is a thing. My late father used to love apples and other fruit. At some point in his 40's he started breaking out in a sweat nd turning red after eating an apple. After testing him, he was told that he is allergic to fructose. Great video, thank you!

I appreciate the information presented, and that instead of issuing a blanket opinion, point out that we each need to determine our own dietary requirements and quirks. My standard is moderation, and the level of moderation is different for each person. In another example, gluten and lactose has no effect on me, but I know others who are very sensitive.
