I'm no chemist, I tried gooogling this and didn't understand the definition or process. Is this basically just HFCS (high fructose corn syrup).

  1. a lot of what donfletc says is correct. In addition , however high fructose intakes besides causing the insulin dumkp as it were ..saturate the glucose metabolism systems because the product fructose- 1 phosphate produced by liver fructokinase working because the high levels of fructose have "turned it on " goes through the lower aspects of glycolysis after  the regulation step at phosphofructokinase..which means the paths normally downregulated by energy intermediates that affect PFK do NOT slow the saturation of those pathways by fructose....= \

    very bad. In normal circumstances fructose is phosphorylated by hexokinase and the resultant fructose -6 phosphate goes through glycolysis normally via PFK....so small amounts are tolerable  higher ones are NOT


  2. Invert sugar, including honey, is a very high glycemic index food. it will drive the pancreas to dump lots of insulin into the blood to try to get rid of it. On the other hand it is the easiest thing for a baby to digest.

    Invert sugar or syrup is not inclined to become granular, but will do so in time. It is one half fructose and one half glucose, which is why it is so high on the glycemic scale.
