Jane, this is in response to your post about the effect of cow's milk, yeast,
and sugars on health. You said,


FRUCTOSE ie fruit sugar.
I always thought frustose was fruit sugar and I guess it used to be mostly in
and from fruit, probably was during the years you refer to. But I want to
alert our listees to a change. Lately my chiropractor told me fructose is
corn. I googled fructose just now and it's in honey and fruits, etc. But I
also found this:

Fructose Maybe Not So Natural...and Not So Safe Copyright © 1995 by

If you consider fructose a safe, natural sugar, think again. You've been
had by one of the biggest nutritional bait-and-switch ploys in years.
Fructose and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) have been aggressively
promoted as natural sugars. After all, we've been taught since childhood that
fructose is fruit sugar.
The truth is that fructose and HFCS, as large-scale commercial sweeteners,
didn't exist 20 years ago. Now, they're almost as common as sucrose-plain old
white sugar. HFCS is routinely added to processed foods and beverages including
Coca-Cola, Snapple, and many health food products.
"Fructose is not from fruit. It's a commercial, refined sugar," asserted
Robin Rogosin, a buyer and research coordinator at Mrs. Gooch's Natural Foods
Market in Beverly Hills, Calif.
