Re: [Pen-l] high fructose poison syrup

[Dan Scanlan <coolhanduke1029@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My daughter is a molecular toxicology doctoral candidate at UC  
Berkeley. She has kept me from using high fructose corn syrup for  
several years now, the main reason being that fructose darts through  
the intestinal lining without mediation, unlike regular sugar, which  
undergoes several processes before it can get close to cellular walls.  
I'm simplifying because I have to, but that is the general idea. (I  
spent two months in San Francisco working on the Cindy Sheehan  
campaign last year and one of the things I learned living there is  
that if you buy Coca-Cola in a supermarket, it is sweetened with high  
fructose corn syrup. If you buy it in a Mexican grocery, it contains  
cane sugar! BTW, I never drink Coke, anyway; They don't use fructose  
in beer.)
