"High intake of fructose and sucrose: Consumption of these sugars may increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Hawaii and the University of Southern California. Fructose naturally occurs in fruits, while sucrose is usually extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets. Researchers analyzed dietary data on 162,150 people who had participated in the Hawaii-Los Angeles Multiethnic Cohort Study, looking for evidence that a diet with a high glycemic load increases the risk of pancreatic cancer." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Common sugars, such as glucose, sucrose (table sugar), fructose, and other sugars we see in foods are used by the body for energy recycling via glycolysis. In this way, these sugars contribute to energy turnover. Certain of these sugars, especially sucrose, are also what are now referred to as "bad" sugars because they provoke an insulin spike. 2. Glycogen is a sugar made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. Glycogen is the cellular storehouse of glucose, making it readily available for energy turnover in the cell." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Fructose is a different form of sugar, commonly found in fruit. sucrose, or table sugar, is a disaccharide consisting of a molecule of glucose joined to a molecule of fructose. merit changes. For us, the first big change came ten thousand years ago with the advent of agriculture. (And it devastated our health, leading to a panoply of deficiencies and infectious diseases that we've only managed to get under control in the last century or so.) The biggest change in our food environment since then? The advent of the modern diet." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"When rats were placed on a diet containing 66 percent sucrose, their mean and maximal life spans were significantly shorter than those of animals on a corn starch or energy-restricted sucrose diet. The implication is that diets high in sucrose may age us by inducing hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia. R. B. McDonald, "Influence of Dietary sucrose on Biological Aging," American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 62 (Suppl.) (1995): 284S-93S. High HDL cholesterol and the ratio of HDL to cholesterol are linked with longevity." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"Sucralose is made from sugar but is derived from sucrose by a process that substitutes three atoms of chlorine for three hydrogen oxygen atom groups in the molecule of sucrose. Dr. Janet Hull says eating Sucralose is like ingesting tiny amounts of chlorinated pesticides. GREAT ALTERNATIVE SWEETENERS A well-known fact is that a diet excessively high in sugar (glucose) can be one of the major problems with the metabolic change of our system and the occurrence of malignant tumors. Cancer cells absorb and thrive on sugar as they multiply out of control." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"Per capita consumption of caloric sweeteners, mainly sucrose (table sugar made from cane and beets) and corn sweeteners (notably high-fructose corn syrup, or HFCS) increased 43 pounds, or 39 percent, between 1950-1959 and 2000. In 2000, each American consumed an average 152 pounds of caloric sweeteners. That amounted to more than two-fifths of a pound, or 52 teaspoons per person per day.16 This is something unheard of in human history. Dr. Thomas Cleave did a historical survey after World War II of indigenous cultures to which white sugar and white flour had been introduced." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Studies show that fructose accelerates glycosylation, damaging proteins to a significantly greater degree than sucrose or glucose."34 Our most prominent source of this damaging sugar is high-fructose corn syrup in soft drinks, which, according to the USDA Economic Research Service, comprised more than 25 percent of the beverages consumed by Americans in 1997. A 2005 study found that the low AGE content of a low-fat vegan diet could benefit diabetics." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"SUCROSE Sucrose is a disaccharide that contains equal parts fructose and glucose. sucrose is most commonly known as table sugar. sucrose is also known as cane, beet, turbinado, confectioner's and powdered sugar, as well as sugar syrup, brown sugar, and glaze. This sugar is produced from sugar cane or sugar beets. When consumed, it adds empty calories and causes blood sugar levels to rise quickly, prompting a release of insulin that just as rapidly sends levels crashing again." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.)

"The carbohydrase enzymes that digest sugars are involved in breaking down sucrose, lactose, and maltose. When these sugars are not properly digested, people often exhibit symptoms of depression, panic attacks, severe mood swings or mania, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and environmental sensitivities. The sugar-digesting carbohydrases from fungal (plant-based) sources are sucrase, lactase, and maltase." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"Compared with glucose, which has a GI value of 100, the GI of fructose is very low at 20, while sucrose (simple table sugar) has a moderately low GI value of about 55. But what most people don't know is that fructose is easily glycated. This critical fact makes high levels of fructose consumption a worrisome problem for anyone who is already on the fast track toward diabetes. Common sense tells you that choosing chocolate cake with frosting and a candy bar as the cornerstone of your nutrition plan because these two foods have a low GI ranking isn't a great idea." - 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.)

"The sugars are sweet to the taste and abundant in all fruit, chiefly occurring in the forms fructose, glucose and sucrose. There are also a number of other sugars that occur in some foods. The simplest of the sugars, called monosaccharides, need no chemical breakdown to be absorbed directly through the small intestines into the bloodstream. Fructose and glucose are the most common monosaccharides in food. Fructose still needs to be converted into glucose in the liver in order for the body to use it in its energy production cycle." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (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.

"Certain of these sugars, especially sucrose, are also what are now referred to as "bad" sugars because they provoke an insulin spike. 2. Glycogen is a sugar made up of a long chain of glucose molecules. Glycogen is the cellular storehouse of glucose, making it readily available for energy turnover in the cell. Aerobic athletes, such as runners, rely heavily on glycogen stores to give them energy during long exercise bouts. Hearts also rely on glycogen as an energy store to protect them from short periods of ischemia when the oxygen-requiring pathways of energy metabolism slow down or stop. 3." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"Henceforth, government dietary guidelines would shun plain talk about whole foods, each of which has its trade association on Capitol Hill, but would instead arrive dressed in scientific euphemism and speaking of nutrients, entities that few Americans (including, as we would find out, American nutrition scientists) really understood but that, with the notable exception of sucrose, lack powerful lobbies in Washington.* The lesson of the McGovern fiasco was quickly absorbed by all who would pronounce on the American diet." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"To do a sugar challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: sugar, beet sugar, brown sugar, cane sugar, sucrose, succinate, turbinado, raw sugar and sugar cane. To do a chocolate challenge test, eliminate the following foods for three weeks: chocolate candies, cookies and cakes, chocolate milk and hot chocolate, chocolate flavoring, chocolate liquors, coated nuts and raisins, cocoa products, cola drinks (check labels). Additionally, some dark rye breads contain cocoa (check labels)." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Foods high in sucrose and fructose increase chromium loss. Vitamin C in amounts of 100 mg or more increase the absorption of chromium. There is not enough information on chromium to establish RDAs. The adequate intake level (AI) has been set to reflect average intakes. Please refer to Table 13-5 for the adequate intake levels for chromium. CHROMIUM SUPPLEMENTS Trivalent chromium is available for supplementation in several forms. Chromium chloride is a poorly absorbed form. Chromium picolinate is the form used in much of the research on the health effects of chromium and is well absorbed." - Dr. Steve Blake, Vitamins and Minerals Demystified (Get the book.)

"Fructose, the sweetest sugar, is what makes fruits, berries, and some vegetables sweet. sucrose, common table sugar, is next in sweetness; it gets its sweetness from the fructose it contains, rather than its glucose, which has only half the sweetness of fructose. Xylitol, a sugar alcohol, is about as sweet as sucrose, but is not widely used. Table 21.1 summarizes the sweetness of the most common sugars and shows that after fructose and sucrose, there's no contest. Table 21.1 Relative Sweetness of Common Sugars Sugar Relative Sweetness Fructose 1.0 Sucrose 0.8 Glucose 0.6 Maltose 0." - James Scala, The New Eating Right for a Bad Gut: The Complete Nutritional Guide to Ileitis, Colitis, Crohn's Disease, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Get the book.)

"Countless packaged foods from sodas to fruit drinks to baked goods and even salad dressings, soups and packaged meal "helpers" contain a version of sugar whether it's called sucrose, dextrose, or maltose on the label. If you're trying to lose weight the added calories of these sweeteners will make your job harder. Foods that contain artificial sweeteners are the stealth bombers of healthy eating. Food manufacturers have led us to believe that "low cal" is king. How The Truth About "Low Fat" Packaged Foods. People who are trying to lose weight see reduced-fat foods as great diet foods." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Fructose naturally occurs in fruits, while sucrose is usually extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets. Researchers analyzed dietary data on 162,150 people who had participated in the Hawaii-Los Angeles Multiethnic Cohort Study, looking for evidence that a diet with a high glycemic load increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. Participants who ate the most fructose had a significantly higher pancreatic cancer risk than those who consumed the least. Participants who drank more fruit juice also had a higher risk of pancreatic cancer risk." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Meanwhile, among obese and overweight patients, high sucrose intake was correlated with a higher risk of pancreatic cancer. Smoking Cigarettes: They increase the incidence of any type of cancer by undermining the blood's ability to carry oxygen to the cells of the body and inflaming them. In additon, smoking and second-hand smoke cause cadmium poisoning, a major risk for developing cancer. Sunscreens: Cancer of all types increased dramatically when sunscreens and sunglasses were introduced to the masses.
