high fructose corn syrup....

Fruit is metabolized into fat, but not stored, correct?

Wrong

As for HFCS, it will partially replenish glycogen stores and be converted to fat

In the end it depends on how much HFCS you take

Then what happens to fruit primarily? Considering the liver can store 400grams, before it fills up...what happens?

 

[eat big]

HFCS is in most if not all breads too. Only bread I eat is frozen Ezekiel Bread.

Hey, haven't been here in awhile but I do recognize Anthrax. How's it going mang! This is correct, as well as macro's statement.

Also, the liver can on average (depending on each individual) store up to anywhere between 50-100grams before excess gets coverted into triglycerides. Lyle McDonald did a great paper on this a few years back. It IS here in the archive if anybody wants to do a search for it. I think Par Deus posted it up if I remember correctly...not sure though. Just use Lyle as a cross-reference.

Energy and strength levels are optimal when liver glycogen is full and not empty, which may be the reason why Gatorade adds it in their drinks. I still wish they'd cut back a little on the fructose and HFCS and increase the dextrose. Also, fructose is a better flavoring agent than that of other sugars, so i'm sure this adds into the equation as well...at least a little.

BTW, HFCS is composed of either 42% or 55% fructose, with the remaining sugars being glucose and higher saccharides

So HFCS <> fructose

High Fructose Corn Syrup is garbage. Stay away from it. I read Dr. Scott Connelly's book about how High Fructose Corn Syrup is a big fat sugar pill. Yet Metrx still uses it in all of their Protein bars. It is cheaper to make and is pure trash for bodybuilding. If you see a company using High Fructose Corn Syrup it tells you that the company is only about money.
