"For example, the ingredients list from a loaf of bread that states on the label, 'ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS,' and 'NO ARTIFICIAL PRESERVATIVES ADDED,' reads as follows: Enriched wheat flour (wheat flour, malted barley, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin), water, high fructose corn syrup, yeast, wheat bran, vital wheat gluten, butter." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Here is the list of ingredients for the popular cake snack known as Twinkies: Ingredients: Enriched bleached wheat flour (flour, ferrous sulfate [iron], B vitamins [niacin, thiamine mononitrate {Bi}, riboflavin {B2}, folic acid]), sugar, water, com syrup, high fructose corn syrup, vegetable and/or animal shortening (contains one or more of: partially hydrogenated soybean, cottonseed or canola oil, beef fat), dextrose, whole eggs." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Enriched bleached flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate (vitamin B,), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid], water, whole grains [whole wheat flour, brown rice flour (rice flour, rice bran)], high fructose corn syrup [hello!], whey, wheat gluten, yeast, cellulose." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Here are two points that should soothe your conscience: Many of the foods that we store in the fridge and the pantry that contain trans fats and high fructose corn syrup are those that might be past their prime anyhow. Take a look at the expiration dates on the drawn to them recently that trans fats are being banished from many foods by restaurants and food manufacturers. (Cities like New York are leading the charge and banning trans fats in restaurants. Other cities and states are following the Big Apple's example.) So it is becoming easier to avoid trans fats when you eat out." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Natural Sweeteners Stay away from foods high in artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup. Your family will all love these healthy alternatives. • Agave nectar • Stevia • Maple syrup, Grade B • Evaporated cane juice • Lundberg's Sweet Dreams brown rice syrup (www.lundberg .com) • AHILaska organic chocolate syrup (www.ahlaska.com) Flours I like to keep a variety of flours on hand for baking. Try these healthier alternatives to bleached white flour: • Spelt • Oat • Whole wheat • Unbleached Grains Whole grains are an essential part of a healthy plant-based diet." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Unfortunately, the typical school-cafeteria lunch—even if it has a high protein and vitamin content—is often loaded with trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and other dangerous additives. Many schools might have chips and sodas on their menus or vending and soda machines in their hallways. To protect your children from these toxic temptations, start by researching the foods and snacks available in their schools." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"It can also be a challenge to find whole-grain bread that contains no oil or high fructose corn syrup. Great Harvest Bakery makes a number of breads that are perfect, and many grocery store rye breads have no oil. Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain breads are in the frozen foods section of most health food stores and an increasing number of regular supermarkets, and they come in many forms— from sliced loaves (especially good toasted), to tortillas and delicious hamburger or hot dog buns. Read the ingredients. There are three cooking implements that we have found indispensable. One is a rice cooker." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

"Use only whole wheat flour, it must have the word whole on the label. • high fructose corn syrup is a concentrated form of sugar derived from corn. • Dough conditioners, in general, can cause mineral deficiencies, and ammonium sulfate in particular may cause mouth ulcers, nausea, and kidney and liver problems. • Brown sugar is merely white sugar with molasses added. • Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is a trans fat associated with heart disease, breast and colon cancer, atherosclerosis and elevated cholesterol. It is even worse than saturated fat." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"Avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup. These foods have addictive qualities and make you fat. You will find high fructose corn syrup even in health foods so read the ingredients. Avoid processed foods loaded with chemicals to "preserve freshness." Do your best to eat organic, unprocessed foods. Eat salads at dinner before your main course or as your main course. If you take the time to make a good salad with ingredients that really add flavor, you can enjoy it while reducing your hunger level before you get to your main course, which results in eating less." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Today, most corn is dried and then subjected to high pressure and heat, a totally unnatural process that produces corn oil and high fructose corn syrup. Like oats, corn in its original form-whether raw or dried as posole-isn't bad for us, but manipulate it to make it more digestible, and it can do us in. I know you're skeptical; so was I. You've been repeatedly taught that all grains are good for you, right? This new way of thinking goes against the grain-pun intended-as well as all my training and years of being exposed to advertising. So what's my take on eating whole grains?" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"The whole idea of this "name game" is to convey to each one of us the idea that the speaker or writer knows more about this stuff than we do; that we should not think for ourselves; and we should buy more sug - oops - we mean carbohydrates with high fructose corn syrup. It is designed to keep us from thinking for ourselves. It is designed to stop us from handling our sugar addiction. CONFUSION TECHNIQUE NO. 3: POSITIVE ASSOCIATION VALUE Positive Association Value is an advertising term. It has nothing to do with what is good or bad." - Kenneth W Thomas, Ron Gilbert, Gerd Schaller, Side Effects: The Hidden Agenda of the Pharmaceutical Drug Cartel (Get the book.)

"Odds are it's sweetened with high fructose corn syrup. Unlike whole fruit, the drink is devoid of fiber so nothing slows the absorption of fructose in your stomach. Because you don't feel full, you continue to sip away—no wonder people actually spring for 64-ounce drinks. All the while, your liver churns out triglycerides to deposit in your fat cells and artery walls. Your genes program you to seek out such beverages, but they will kill you and you're literally drinking it up!" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, the vitamin B6 content of other common carbohydrates, such as sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and alcohol is very low. Without enough vitamin B6, it is more difficult to burn carbohydrates. Energy metabolism in cells is controlled by thyroid hormones. Both iodine and selenium are needed by thyroid hormones to stimulate metabolism. Four ions of dietary iodine are incorporated into the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). Selenium is needed for thyroxine to be converted into the active thyroid hormone T3. Without both iodine and selenium, the thyroid gland cannot regulate metabolism." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Additional killer ingredients in processed foods are sucrose, fructose, maltose, dextrose, polydextrose, corn syrup, molasses, sorbitol, maltodextrin, high fructose corn syrup, margarine, BHA, BHT, sulfates, sulfites, dyes and colorings." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Refined and processed sugars (e.g. high fructose corn syrup, table sugar, brown sugar) are drugs. Natural sugars are also drugs when taken excessively. Refined and hybrid fruit and vegetable sugars slip past the liver like a slipping gear. The liver tries to recognize the sugar, but for the most part, it is unidentifiable and slippage occurs as unprocessed sugar enters the blood rapidly, causing a "high," - or sugar rush - which has been described by many people addicted to refined sugar or even by people hooked on fruit or carrot juice." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"In the carbohydrate category, relatively low-glycemic carbohydrates include things like yams or sweet potatoes; whole grains, like whole grain brown rice and whole grain barley; and sugars like Agave nectar rather than fructose, processed sugar or high fructose corn syrup. Stevia is, of course, an excellent sweetener to use. It has virtually no blood sugar effect whatsoever. If you want a tasty sweetener that is extremely low on the glycemic index, get Agave nectar. Ideally, get Agave nectar grown and harvested from Blue Weber agave plants." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"You will find high fructose corn syrup even in health foods so read the ingredients. Avoid processed foods loaded with chemicals to "preserve freshness." Do your best to eat organic, unprocessed foods. Eat salads at dinner before your main course or as your main course. If you take the time to make a good salad with ingredients that really add flavor, you can enjoy it while reducing your hunger level before you get to your main course, which results in eating less." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"There are huge subsidies in place on corn right now, and that translates into artificially cheap prices on ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, which is now scientifically known to be a major promoter of diabetes and obesity. That's the ingredient found in soft drinks and candy bars and a great number of other products, including breakfast cereals and even pizza sauce and salad dressings." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "Diabetes is caused by the consumption of soft drinks, high fructose corn syrup, refined white sugars, refined white flour, processed grains, processed carbohydrates, and other processed foods. Subsequently, if you teach people to stop eating these foods, you in essence destroy the diabetes industry. And yes, it is a hugely profitable industry, just like the cancer industry." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) "So food producers and manufacturers certainly do not want to acknowledge the links between high fructose corn syrup and diabetes. They don't want to talk about the relationship between sugar and obesity. In fact, they will go out of their way to deny these correlations. Naturally, they don't want to be held responsible for the diseases their foods are actually causing in the population at large. But in a common sense society, doesn't it seem logical that companies should be responsible for the products they sell to consumers?" - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Also, fructose can raise blood uric acid, so read every label, and eliminate it, including 'corn syrup' and 'high fructose corn syrup.'" "How about fruit itself?" "Whole fruit doesn't seem to be a problem." "And supplements?" "Several that help over the long run—but for acute attacks, have you tried cherry juice?" "Cherry juice? We're talking about serious pain here!" "I know. Years ago, a Dr. Blau published an article describing relief of acute gout with cherry juice. It works often enough, so it's worth a try." "How many years ago?" "1950." "Better late than never." - Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Natural Medicine, Optimal Wellness: The Patient's Guide to Health and Healing (Get the book.)

"Eating To Overcome Hypoglycemia And Diabetes Eating animal foods typically aggravate the system to the point where hypoglycemia (moodiness) and diabetes manifest, but (aside from the obviously dangerous white sugar and high fructose corn syrup) cooked hybridized plant starch is the real culprit. Hypoglycemia and diabetes are caused by eating cooked hybrid starchy foods — the worst of which includes white or wheat breads, beer, cooked corn of all types, stewed carrots, refined (beet) sugar, baked potatoes, white rice, trench fries, cookies, potato chips, seedless fruit, etc." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Here is a short list of foods that you should avoid: fried foods, fast food, candy, cakes, donuts, pastries, anything that is high in sodium, anything laced with fat or sugar (including high fructose corn syrup) and anything that is loaded with trans fats, also known as partially hydrogenated oil or shortening. As part of my health regimen I started eating moderate amounts of whole grains, vegetables and salads without heavy dressing. My staples were broiled chicken, fish, beef and lamb. I avoided eating after 7:00 p.m. when my metabolism starts to slow down." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

"Mary—a veteran health journalist, who had researched, wrote, and coauthored three books herself—did a stupendous job tracking down, poring over, and clarifying the conclusions in many relevant, top-quality, peer-reviewed studies that linked sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and high-glycemic carbs to a variety of diseases and ailments. Excitedly, we uncovered a huge amount of recent groundbreaking research, most of which received scant or no attention in the press—unless it related to obesity or diabetes." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.) "We banned foods with high fructose corn syrup and trans fats, got rid of processed foods, and replaced most vendors," Cooper says. "We cook from scratch, serve fresh fruits and vegetables, and put in salad bars. The kids are getting real food." New York City: Chef Changes Palates with Bold, Fresh Flavors Miso soup. Salmon. Steamed asparagus. Basmati brown rice. Fresh fruit. Salad bar. That's a typical menu at New York City's private Calhoun School since 2002, thanks to world-class chef Robert Surles ("Chef Bobo")." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.) "Even the medical, peer-reviewed Circulation Magazine did a landmark study back in 1998, which concluded that fructose derived from corn does metabolize differently in the body and immediately triggers the build-up of triglycerides (the primary building block for LDL or 'bad' cholesterol)," notes Bianchi, who has been to many sweetener refinery plants and witnessed the manufacturing process for both sugar (from cane and beet) and high fructose corn syrup (from corn)." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.) "Sucrose is just as bad as high fructose corn syrup," maintains Dr. Ludwig, an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest believes that the HFCS discussion is confusing people. "It's unfortunate that some consumers have been distracted by false concerns about HFCS and lost sight of the fact that we're consuming far too much sugar in the form of both HFCS and table sugar (sucrose). We should be consuming a lot less of both." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.
