Your tedious repetition of the word doesn't make it so.

Vandana Shiva can defend herself very well!
http://vandanashiva.com/

Your tendency to adopt the McCarthyite style is also noted.

You have a way of non-denial denial. When you post here, are you working for anyone? Are you writing on behalf of a specific interest that you share in defending the present food production system, as an employee, shareholder or other stakeholder? What's your claim to expertise? When did you study these subjects? (Because your simple posting of links doesn't establish that, see?)

(By the way, to your other insinuation: I don't live on this board, always ready to pounce with the exact same bullshit talking points always on the same narrow set of subjects, like some people suspiciously do. So it may be days or longer before I reply.)

I'm not familiar with this debate. Why the focus on fructose in HFCS? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #4

I think because HFCS is in EVERYTHING. TalkingDog Apr 2016 #6

I see. It's not a comparison to glucose. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #8

Indeed. Sugars weren't compared, the N is too small, & the study itself is at odds with the article. HuckleB Apr 2016 #10

Because that was what they were studying. And Anti HFCS Woo mongers are misinterpreting. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #80

In sucrose fructose and glucose are chemically combined as one molecule. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #99

When sucrose dissolves, the fructose and glucose separate. They are the same. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #102

Not really - needs to undergo hydrolysis, a chemical reaction. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #104

Did you read what you posted? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #105

Yep, it is a chemical reaction. And you mistated what I said about metabolism. yellowcanine Apr 2016 #106

See ya. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #111

For that matter, what about grapes and grape juice? D Gary Grady May 2016 #404

Sucrose is not a "mixture". It is a disaccharide with one glucose and one fructose molecule n/t eridani Apr 2016 #131

True, and that weak bond is broken virtually immediately by a weak acid Major Nikon Apr 2016 #135

So why did our digestive tracts ever evolve sucrases? eridani Apr 2016 #202

Because your body needs enzymes to digest all carbohydrates Major Nikon Apr 2016 #216

OK--then stomach acidity is irrelevant. Glad we agree n/t eridani Apr 2016 #296

I agree to no such nonsense Major Nikon Apr 2016 #298

I discovered a third form of carbonic anhydrase, so I know what an enzyme is eridani Apr 2016 #299

Well you certainly failed to demonstrate that knowledge Major Nikon Apr 2016 #300

You need digestive enzymes. That's mostly what breaks down sucrose into eridani Apr 2016 #301

Wrong Major Nikon Apr 2016 #303

That is bullshit. The enzyme catalazed rate is 1000X the uncatalyzed rate eridani Apr 2016 #361

I am aware of the chemical structure of sucrose. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #153

It does NOT mean a molecule. Salad dressing is a mixture. Sucrose is not n/t eridani Apr 2016 #201

I have a BA in chemistry. I am well aware of the technical differences. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #217

If acidity alone does the trick, why do we have sucrases? n/t eridani Apr 2016 #297

You think there is only one way to skin a cat? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #304

I don't just think, I KNOW that catalyzed reactions are thousands of times faster than eridani Apr 2016 #362

And,,, You've admited uncatalyzed reactions exist, destroying your line of... Thor_MN Apr 2016 #365

If uncatalized rates were fast enough, there would be no sucrase or invertase n/t eridani Apr 2016 #372

I see logic is not your strong suit either. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #373

I'd like people to quit talking about acidic hydrolysis as if it were meaningful eridani Apr 2016 #377

Get over it. The fact that there are enzymes in no way invalidates other mechanisms. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #378

Food doesn't sit around for months in your digestive tract eridani Apr 2016 #379

Wow. Have fun with your beliefs, you are out there on your own island. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #380

If acid were enough, sucrase and invertase would not exist, period n/t eridani May 2016 #383

Back to the "There can be only one" nonsense, with absolutely nothing to back it up... Thor_MN May 2016 #384

Let sucrose sit around long enough in acid and it will eventually hydrolyze eridani May 2016 #387

We don't have invertase in our guts, unless we add it to our food. Thor_MN May 2016 #388

WE've got sucrase n/t eridani May 2016 #389

Yes, we do. Which still means nothing, as you have no point. Thor_MN May 2016 #390

Acid hydrolysis takes place over time in bottles eridani May 2016 #391

Does the OP not use "skeptics" as a pejorative for those who actually understand science? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #306

It was a riposte to those self-anointed "skeptics" who sought to keep the term to themselves villager Apr 2016 #310

Indeed, and, as it turned out, in a rather ironic manner. HuckleB Apr 2016 #311

It does explain where you are coming from... HuckleB Apr 2016 #312

Well, we disagree, though in a non-incendiary manner, at least. villager Apr 2016 #313

You are really projecting womanofthehills Apr 2016 #121

Do you have anything constructive to contribute or are you just here to insult? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #154

No, it is not, you are 100% wrong. Please try reading it again. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #158

fructose has long been known to be toxic, this isn't really new. ALSO, most sugar has fructose Fast Walker 52 Apr 2016 #35

Of course our bodies don't metabolize fructose and glucose in the same way. TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #37

A little correction... GaYellowDawg Apr 2016 #72

You were consuming up to 60 cubes of sugar a day. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #85

Maybe, if so why do they feed the Wistar fatty rats fructose to elevate TGs? TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #91

Because fructose is processed in the liver and used to create TGs. Thor_MN Apr 2016 #93

I did not test out of normal until after the switch to HFCS. TexasProgresive Apr 2016 #132

Did you not age before the switch to HFCS? Thor_MN Apr 2016 #150

The studies were about the hormone leptin, which signals the feeling of satiety. BuddhaGirl Apr 2016 #139

It's related to fructose, which is in table sugar at the same basic amount as HFCS. HuckleB Apr 2016 #142

Then don't pay any attention to it BuddhaGirl Apr 2016 #146
