Hello, everyone: I just read a summary of a research study and I wanted to share some thoughts with you all. There is a post today on msn.com regarding the link of fructose to high blood pressure. Here is where being a prudent and educated consumer needs to come into play. Fructose is the main sugar found in fruits and some vegetables. This is NOT the fructose this article is talking about. Fructose, such as that found in high fructose corn syrup or processed foods, is where caution should be exercised. Sucrose, generally used as table sugar (white, refined) is the formula most commonly used in these foods. Now, is it actually the fructose that causes the trouble, or is the food that one would consume with this ingredient in it be the cause for concern? Use your common sense and best judgment when reading research such as this. I know I should have that Twinkie. I'm not sure that the fructose is the main thing I should be worried about therein.
My thoughts for the day, have a great one!
