"Roughly $40 billion in federal subsidies are going to pay corn growers, so that corn syrup is able to replace cane sugar. corn syrup has been singled out by many health experts as one of the chief culprits of rising obesity, because corn syrup does not turn off appetite. Since the advent of corn syrup, consumption of all sweeteners has soared, as have people's weights. According to a 2004 study reported in the American journal of Clinical Nutrition, the rise of Type-2 diabetes since 1980 has closely paralleled the increased use of sweeteners, particularly corn syrup." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The following are various versions of refined sugar: cane sugar, dried cane syrup, brown sugar, beet sugar, date sugar, grape sugar, glucose, sucrose, maltose, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorbitol, corn syrup, fructose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice, fruit juice concentrate, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, and sorghum syrup. Look at your breakfast cereals, white breads, salad dressing, pasta sauces, yogurts, granola and health bars, canned fruits, and so on. Sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, found in most packaged meat products and deli meats." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"GM Corn: Cornmeal, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), baking powder, white vinegar, caramel, malt, confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract (contains corn syrup), and table salt (may contain a small amount of dextrose)." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"High-fructose corn syrup, in addition to being genetically modified, is devastating to metabolism. The standard diet for making a rat diabetic is to feed it high-fructose corn syrup and excess saturated fat (with no essential fatty acids). Recently, scientists wondered which of these two ingredients was really inducing the diabetes, so they tested them separately. Not surprisingly, they both caused diabetes. Excessive saturated fat piles up in body organs and clogs them to a halt. High-fructose corn syrup causes such severe insulin resistance that diabetes occurs easily." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"GM Corn: Cornmeal, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), baking powder, white vinegar, caramel, malt, confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract (contains corn syrup), and table salt (may contain a small amount of dextrose)." - Jeffrey M.

"According to a 2004 study reported in the American journal of Clinical Nutrition, the rise of Type-2 diabetes since 1980 has closely paralleled the increased use of sweeteners, particularly corn syrup. Data collected from the study of 51,603 nurses in the United States found that women who drank one serving of non-diet soda or fruit punch daily, which was sweetened with either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, gained more weight, an average of 10.3 pounds, than women who drank less than one per month. The study was conducted over four years." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is especially dangerous. Americans actually consume more HFCS than sugar. Research has shown that high-fructose corn syrup goes directly to the liver, releasing enzymes that instruct the body to store fat. Believe it or not, this can be found in some seemingly healthy foods—many flavored yogurts, granola bars, energy bars, and breakfast cereals contain HFCS. Look for all other refined sugars in all their forms on the ingredients label, as manufacturers try to trick you into thinking their foods do not contain a lot of sugar." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.) "As a fellow former sugar junkie (believe me, I feel your pain), I'm very sorry to say this means NOT EATING the following versions or anything with these versions or varieties of sugar in any of your food: brown sugar, fructose, sucrose, glucose, maltose, succinate, molasses, date sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice concentrate, sorbitol, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorghum syrup." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"High-Fructose corn syrup (and Any Form of Sugar or Refined Carbohydrate) High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is an insidious chemical that has crept into our food supply in recent years. Though it was completely unknown until 1980, we now make 17.5 billion pounds of it and consume sixty-six pounds per person every year. This is a potent form of sugar that is sweeter than regular sugar, increases appetite,1 promotes obesity more than regular sugar,2 and is more addictive than cocaine.' It also leads to diabetes and an inflamed brain." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"To do a com challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: corn, corn nuts, corn flakes, corn meal, grits, popcorn, corn oil, corn syrup, corn sugar and kernel corn. Read labels for hidden sources of corn in packaged, canned and frozen goods. Medications and vitamins may contain traces of corn starch. To do a soya challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: tamari, soy flour, soya beans, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein, soy flour, soya, vegetable broth, soy protein, hydrolyzed soy protein, soy oil, soya bean oil, lecithin and soya lecithin." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Sugar is sugar by any other name; watch out for: •I- corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup ??Sucrose ??Glucose ??Maltose •fr Dextrose ??Lactose ??Fructose • ?White grape juice or other fruit concentrate *:?Honey ??Barley malt ??Maple sugar *!?Sucanat • ?Natural cane sugar Dehydrated cane juice •I- Brown sugar ??Turbinado sugar ??Invert sugar Food processors do not have to state if there is added sugar in their products. Added sugar is defined as additional sweetener or sugar put into food other than what's naturally found in it." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.) "High-fructose corn syrup is used to sweeten almost everything these days, including soft drinks. It wasn't even in our food supply before the 1970s. Since 1997, we have increased our consumption of soft drinks from 23.3 gallons to 54 gallons per person each year. Before the mid-1970s, sodas were sweetened with sugar; now they are sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup. These supersugars quickly enter your bloodstream and trigger hormonal and chemical changes that make you feel even hungrier." - Mark Hyman, Ultra-Metabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss (Get the book.)

"Any label that says sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, sugar, corn syrup, or white grape juice concentrate is a source of added dietary sugar. Salt. With all this talk of lowering cholesterol and improving the cholesterol ratios, it is easy to forget how important it is to balance the blood pressure and how foods may have a positive or a negative effect on this. For example, a diet low in potassium and high in sodium is associated with high blood pressure. By contrast, a diet high in potassium and low in sodium can protect against elevation of blood pressure." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The Alimentum was supposed to be the easiest for newborns to handle, but it had corn oil in it, and Priya seemed to be sensitive to anything that contained corn oil or corn syrup. As Priya got a little older and started to eat solid foods, Anju found that a number of foods made Priya gassy, bloated, and irritable. Priya was a sensitive baby. She seemed to cry a lot, and tossed and turned in her crib at night. She wasn't growing well. She was beautifully delicate, but too tiny. Anju spoke to Priya's pediatrician often, but he wasn't concerned." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"The average American consumes high amounts of corn syrup every day. Many consume up to 300 or more calories a day from vending machines, junk foods, sodas, sweetened fruit juices, cereals, cookies, snack bars, and many processed foods. Between 1970 and 2000, the consumption of corn syrup has increased at least 10-fold. This is a small part of a big puzzle when it comes to obesity, diabetes, and other problems caused by the consumption of high amounts of sugars in the American diet today." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Processing and cooking foods at high temperatures results in what is called the Maillard reaction, in which sugars (those that are a natural part of the food or those that have been added, such as fructose and corn syrup), proteins, and some fats interact and form advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs), as discussed in chapter 1. When you cook foods using intense heat and without water or other liquids, such as broth or wine, the sugars bind nonen-zymatically to proteins (collagen and elastin fibers) and form glycotoxins." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Some contain corn syrup. Nondairy margarines are usually available at health food stores and supermarkets. Many of the low-calorie brands use soy instead of milk. These products tend to be less rich than real butter, but they are lower in calories. Many soy margarines, though, contain saturated fat and yellow dye, and many are hydrogenated, which makes them particularly unhealthy. For cooking, it is best to not use butter substitutes, but to use oils, such as olive oil or sunflower oil. Although real butter does contain casein, as well as lactose, they are present in relatively small amounts." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"You want to avoid foods whose first few ingredients contain white flour (called wheat flour) and any type of sweetener, such as corn syrup. Ingredients are listed on the label according to quantity, in descending order based on weight (from most to least). As a general rule of thumb, if the list of ingredients is long and you cannot pronounce most of them, there are probably a lot of chemical additives in the product, and you're risking your health by eating it." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"These types of sweeteners are among the main causes of obesity in the United States today. corn syrup is a cheap sweetener which helps hold the product price down. This corn sweetener is six times sweeter than cane sugar and started replacing other sugars as its popularity and low price caught on in the market place. It is now used in 40% of all products that have sweeteners added. The average American consumes high amounts of corn syrup every day." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Such a relationship with corn syrup might develop someday (as people evolve superhuman insulin systems to cope with regular floods of pure fructose and glucose*), but for now the relationship leads to ill health because our bodies don't know how to handle these biological novelties. In much the same way, human bodies that can cope with chewing coca leaves—a longstanding relationship between native people and the coca plant in parts of South America—cannot cope with cocaine or crack, even though the same active ingredients are present in all three." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Look for low-calorie dressings—40-60 calories per 2 tablespoons—but avoid ingredients like color dyes, trans fats, corn syrup, sodium and MSG. Dilute dressings—even lower calorie varieties— to make the most of the "flavor spread" to your lettuce leaves and when at home, measure the dressing and then toss the salad. Also consider using a spray bottle for thinner dressings. In a restaurant, use fruit wedges like oranges, limes, or lemons or use balsamic vinegar or a salsa to add flavor to your salad." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"The whole of the industrial food supply was reformulated to reflect the new nutritional wisdom, giving us low-fat pork, low-fat Snackwell's, and all the low-fat pasta and high-fructose (yet low-fat!) corn syrup we could consume. Which turned out to be quite a lot. Oddly, Americans got really fat on their new low-fat diet—indeed, many date the current epidemic of obesity and diabetes to the late 1970s, when Americans began bingeing on carbohydrates, ostensibly as a way to avoid the evils of fat. But the story is slightly more complicated than that." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)
