How much actual fructose is in fruit juice?


What are the proportions of fructose, sucrose and glucose in fruit juices like grape juice, orange juice and apple juice? If you know a website with this information, please let me know.
----------

That will depend on which kind of fruit you're talking about. Orange and grape juice have a lot more than cranberry juice. Then there's the high fructose corn syrup which is added to it when it's bottled.  (+ info)

Can you use fructose in place of sugar in baking cookies?


I want to make peanut butter cookies but dont have pure cane sugar, I have fructose.
----------

Yes, but you have to use less due the sweetening power of fructose compared to sugar. Also, because you are using less volume of a sweetener you must replace the missing volume with another ingredient, preferably with flour. Some experimenting with the recipe will be necessary to achieve your goal.  (+ info)

What is the purpose of high fructose corn syrup in food?


Such as bread, cereal, pasta, crackers, chips, etc. I always go to stores like Trader Joe's to avoid fructose fillers. But I can't help but wonder what the purpose of high fructose corn syrup is.
But why add sugar to breads?
----------

To make people more obese and add to the diabetic population.  (+ info)

What effects does high fructose corn syrup have on the body and why is it bad for you?


I've heard many times that high fructose corn syrup is bad for you. Why? And I've also noticed that it is an ingredient in so many things. Even in bread. Why do you need that stuff in bread? I swear nothing is healthy anymore. :/
----------

It's used as a sweetener in prepared foods because it's cheap and it tastes good. It's bad for you because it's a processed simple sugar (carb) that makes your pancreas release too much insulin into your blood stream all at once. It's better to eat complex carbs like whole grains that digest slowly and keep your blood sugar at a more stable level. By eating simple sugars, you're hungry again faster than if you eat healthier complex carbs.  (+ info)

What is the birth year of mass use of high fructose corn syrup?

How can something made in an industrial factory be bad for you?

The industrial production process was refined by Dr. Y. Takasaki at Agency of Industrial Science and Technology of Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan in 1965–1970. HFCS was rapidly introduced to many processed foods and soft drinks in the U.S. from about 1975 to 1985.

Edit- This means aim for an investment date around 2035, but by then you would do better to invest in robot defenses.  (+ info)

What's the difference between regular corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup?


Is corn syrup any better for you? I'm attempting to go on a diet that cuts out most "Old World" foods and only uses ingredients native to the Americas. Part of it involves cutting back on sweeteners, and where needed, replacing sugar with Native American ingredients like maple syrup, agave syrup, honey, and corn syrup. I'm also going to give up high fructose corn syrup, as it processed and unnatural.
----------

HFCS is a super concentrated form of corn syrup. It will spike your insulin levels. Repeated spiking of you insulin CAN lead to Type II diabetes. I avoid all packages that contain either. If you had to rate one better than the other I would say regular corn syrup is less damaging than HFCS. I prefer natural sugars to added ones. Stick with oatmeal or natural granolas instead of a boxed cereals.  (+ info)

What do you think of high fructose corn syrup?


In those commercials, which I know you have all seen, they say that it has the same calories as sugar nd is fine in moderation but isn't it kinda hard tosomething in moderation if it is everything you eat. What do you think of the commercials and high fructose corn syrup?
----------

Don't like the commercials. I agree, it's everywhere, so I advise avoiding it in all products purchased at the store to bring home... that's the only way to try to get it in moderation. I wrote a rant about these commercials at my website, http://www.ananticancerdiet.com (on the Cancer-Fighting Links page).

I don't like sugar. My current angle is to say that all added simple sugars are bad, including high-fructose corn syrup and organic evaporated cane juice (which is ubiquitous in all so-called health food products).  (+ info)

My sister has fructose malabsorption, any web sites that give good recipes on what she can eat?


Fructose malabsorption means that she can't eat anything with fructose in it. that means no fruits, no nuts, and no wheat.
----------

Here is one that I found by putting in 'fructose malabsorption recipes' into Google:

Here is the entire Google search. Could you not have done that yourself?

How long does bodily produced insulin from high fructose intake stay in your body?


I'm curious since I read that consumptoin of high fructose will produce insulin in your body. And that insulin is one reason why you feel sleepy after drinking soda or eating sugary jam.

What foods have fructose in them and how can I avoid them and be healthy?


I'm trying to lose weight, but i have just been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome that is irritated by Fructose. I'm being sent to a dietitian but was told to try avoid fructose till then.
I know that fructose is the natural sugar found in fruit... so how can I be healthy and lose weight when I need to avoid fruit and things?
----------

What you can do is take a multivitimim 2-3 times a day and there is this juice called LANGERS that has no frutose in it at all.

If you want to avoid it...go to a health food store. The food tastes better and it won't have those ingredients. That's the best you can do. Also, organic foods usually do not add those ingredients.  (+ info)
