The FDA has affirmed in writing the avoidance descriptor like “evaporated cane juice” IS “cane sugar” under Code Of Federal Regulation labeling law.

Additionally, FDA has affirmed in writing “agave” is a illegal avoidance descriptor for ” 70 to 90 DE chemically refined hydrolyzed high fructose inulin syrup” from a non GRAS source.

Agave also causes internally bleeding in an ingestee, obesity, diabetes, cancer and spontaneous abortion in pregnant women.

The average American consumed about 6 pound of total sweeteners per year in 1905.

Today, 2013, is about 228 pounds per year.

Massively sand-bagged and under reported numbers in per capita consumption of sweeteners, at USDA, that are not remotely accurately, totally fail report industrial annual outputs and conversion factors (they are in all truth under reported fraud numbers).

Remember, Congress (House and Senate) and The White House work for lobby monies, not you. The Fox is in charge of the Hen House.

Ancient Rome did not fall and fail from without, but within, and curiously it was really when the population and slaves running the Empire where under nourished with too many carbohydrates in their daily caloric consumption. The USA is far past this tipping point already in the TSUNAMI of bad for you sweeteners permeating your daily caloric intake.

Consumption of non-nutritive sweeteners such as saccharin and aspartame could lead to increases in weight, according to new data in rats.

Sweeteners linked to higher weight gain: Rat study

High Fructose Corn Syrup (offend intentionally deceptively mislabeled as ‘fructose’ or ‘fructose-glucose’ or ‘glucose’ or ‘corn syrup’ to hide it on a label) remains the number one cause of insulin resistance, diabetes, many forms of cancer, depression and mental diseases, hypertension, hyperactivity, cardiovascular disease, many inflammatory conditions, gastro-intestinal distress, thyroid hyper and hypo issues, as well as serious weight gain, and obesity in the food, drug, cosmetic, and beverage use (for profit) in diets around the world, on a daily basis.

There is no such thing as naturally occurring “fructose” or ‘laevulose’ (aka ‘fruit sugar’), it is all chemically synthesized and artificially created from genetically modified corn, in many artificial and separate chemical steps.

Fruit is multiple saccharides with vitamins, minerals, pectin, fiber, nutrients, etc. NOT present in ‘fructose’.

Said another way, chemistry does not lie, politicians, lawyers, lobbyists and purveyors of this nasty fake sweetener do!

Artificially derived fructose BURNS at 140 degrees F and crystallizes at 65 degrees F, unlike truly naturally occurring cane or beet sucrose (sugar – a disaccharide, not a monosaccharide like fake fructose).

HFCS/fake fructose is metabolized primarily to jacking up blood triglycerides many thousands of percent rapidly on ingestion, as well as converted to bad for you LDL cholesterol, and then stored as body fat (FACT, NOT FICTION).

Read ‘FAT LAND’ by Greg Critser, as well as ‘SWEET DECEPTION’ by Drs. Joseph Mercola and Kendra Pearsall, in the recommended food reading section of this web site.

For those of you with less time, watch ‘What’s Wrong With What We Eat?’ and ‘Sugar – The bitter Truth’ on the front page of this web site.

As I have repeatedly stated, the vast majority of wellness problems could be solved, at zero cost, by outlawing HFCS from all human ingestion; with no need in multiple TRILLIONS of dollars in government, insurance, medical, tort, hospital, drug, taxpayer subsidies, etc, in ongoing sanctioned or codified rip-offs of consumers by lobbyists bribing all of the federal government in SICK CARE.

Don’t you get it?! Unless you are ill or sick, these DEATH MERCHANTS and their shills in the federal government, cannot exist.

If you do not purchase products with HFCS, the bad guys FAIL.

New research powerfully strengthens the case against soda and other sugary drinks as culprits in the obesity epidemic.

Studies more firmly tie sugary drinks to obesity

ALL High Fructose Corn Syrup is converted primary to triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol and adipose tissue (body fat) and NONE is safe, in any one, at any consumption level.

GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status of HFCS only occurred in 1996, as a middle of the night rider on another piece of legislation, after bribing many in Congress (House an Senate) after this overt poison began flooding the food and beverage chain in 1971 (for profit)!

HFCS is a fraud in almost every aspect of it’s status, labeling, marketing, and most definitely it’s fraudulently purported safety.

Would consumers benefit from changes to the way HFCS is labeled

Chemistry and metabolization are not refutable, but HFCS producers, as well as proponents of corn refiners do regularly LIE.

1) High Fructose Corn Syrup is a monosaccharide hydrocarbon that does not exist naturally by itself in nature. Sucrose (cane or beet) is a disaccharide that does exist in nature.

2). HFCS crystallizes at 65 degrees F and burns at 140 degrees F. Sucrose crystallizes at 20 degrees F and burns at 228.75 degrees F.

3) HFCS is automatically converted to triglycerides, LDL (bad for you) cholesterol, and stored body fat. Sucrose is converted to blood glucose.

4) Insulin resistance, hypoglycemia, type 1 and 2 diabetes, many forms of cancer previously not seen, depression, hypertension, anxiety, cardiovascular disease, intestinal distress, liver/kidney/spleen/thyroid failure, obesity, mental problems, and morbid obesity, are now pandemic, since HFCS flooded the food and beverage chain! HFCS did not exist and crested these disastrous levels prior to 1971 when introduced for use, and was NOT Generally Recognized As Safe until 1996 artificial when Congress was bribed to allow a phony GRAS approval, to cover their legal liability for having allowed this poison to flood the food and beverage chain.

I’ve noticed that many people use agave in their recipes even though they are Real Foodies. I just think they may not have heard the truth about agave. According to Russ Bianchi, executive of a globally recognized food and beverage development company, who lectured about this very subject at the Weston Price Mythbusters conference this past fall, agave is one of the greatest frauds perpetrated on the American people.

As many of you know, Dr. Robert H. Lustig, MD, Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology, at UCSF Medical School, has been a long term warrior against High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), and the massive adverse impact it is having on our food, drug, and beverage chain, as well as our bodies.

Lustig’s lecture is featured on YouTube, and prominently featured on my website, “Sugar The Bitter Truth”; it has gone viral, with over 8.2+ million viewings on various venues.

The (so-called) editors at 60 Minutes would have you believe that Sugar and HFCS (and other sugar derivatives) are the same chemically and recognized the same in the body; Do Not Be Fooled By These LIARS My Friends!

ALL SUGARS ARE NOT ‘SUGAR’ (per even the US Federal Code Of Regulations defining what ‘sugar’ really is)!

HFCS (glucose or glucose-fructose in Canada) and Sugar are radically and fundamentally different chemically, molecularly, physically, metabolically, economically in cost, and in sweetness value, and they are not processed at all the same way in the human body.

In short, Sugar’ is recognized by the body and converted to blood glucose, and HFCS is converted primarily to stored body fat and blood triglycerides.

Sugar, as I have always advised, should be consumed in moderation, but HFCS causes obesity, diabetes, depression, heart disease, cancer, at any ingestion level, and HFCS should NEVER consumed at any level!

These FACTS are irrefutable, and the Corn Refiner’s Association is currently being SUED (article on the court case in Los Angeles is posted on this blog recently) for falsely, deceptively, illegally, fraudulently, trying to call HFCS “Corn Sugar”.

Chemistry does not LIE, the Corn Refiner’s Association does!

A chemically created monosaccharide (HFCS) that is 1.41 times sweeter than cane sugar (a disaccharide) are NOT the same.

HFCS crystallizes at 65 degrees F and burns at 140 degrees F, cane sugar crystallized at 20 degrees F and burns at 228.5 degrees F.

These facts have also been documented in this blog previously, and there are several thousands books and hard science to back it up, in the recommended reading section of this web site, as well as the video section.
