Slight correction.       12/04/06 07:05 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA HFCS is a mixture of two naturally occurring sugars - glucose and fructose. The ratio of glucose and fructose in HFCS can be similar to the ratio in honey. Fructose is not made using chemicals it is made using natural enzymes. Commercially glucose is converted to fructose using these naturally occurring enzymes and then glucose and fructose are blended together to give the type of HFCS that is desired by the manufacturer. HFCS is difficult to digest because fructose whether is found in honey, fruits or HFCS is difficult to digest not because it is manmade. HFCS has the same caloric content as sugar and other simple carbohydrate. It's prevalent use in the food industry is because fructose tastes much sweeter than other sugars. It is always advisable to limit the intake of all sugars including HFCS. Generally speaking if you don't have troubles with fruits such as apples, pears and mellons or honey then you are unlikely to find that HFCS is a trigger. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
