This
study, co-authored by Aner Tal and Adam Brumberg, seeks to determine why people — mothers in particular — develop so - called «food fears»
about certain ingredients (such as sodium, fat, sugar, high
fructose corn syrup, MSG and lean finely textured beef) and what the food industry and government can do
about it.
I haven't yet mentioned the fact that the
study was funded in part by the Corn Refiners Association, the trade group representing manufacturers of the very «food fear» examined, i.e., concerns
about high
fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
Instead of figuring out why «mothers» find the need to feed thier children REAL FOOD not additives, HOW
ABOUT some real
studies on the LONG - TERM impact of High
Fructose Corn Syrup (and other additives) have on our bodies.
«Previous
studies have linked intake of high
fructose corn syrup sweetened beverages with asthma in school children, but there is little information
about when during early development exposure to
fructose might influence later health,» said Sheryl L. Rifas - Shiman, MPH, a
study lead author and senior research associate at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute.
Looking at the
study data, Alderete said the average breastfeeding 1 - month - old baby could consume just 10 milligrams (

Similar
fructose increases have been reported in healthy volunteers who consumed
fructose loads between 0.5 and 0.75 g / kg34 and in individuals who consumed
fructose - sweetened beverages with mixed meals.35 Leptin and ghrelin levels were indistinguishable following acute ingestion of glucose or
fructose, a finding possibly attributable to the short time interval of observation; leptin levels typically change 4 to 6 hours after glucose administration.36 Although
fructose was previously reported to be less effective than glucose in suppressing ghrelin, such differences may be attributable to the different conditions and timing of ghrelin measurements.10 Little is known
about the acute PYY response to
fructose ingestion compared with glucose ingestion, although 1
study in rats found higher rather than lower PYY levels after 24 hours of glucose but not
fructose feeding.11 Whether such disparities are related to
study design or species differences remains uncertain.
Also, recent
studies show that consuming 25 percent of calories from
fructose or HFCS (which is
