While I am very happy to continue to keep "Hot of the oven" going as much as you keep enjoy reading it every Monday. In this second February edition I will be spilling out the facts of High Fructose Corn syrup, and is it really good for your health.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), is a sweeter made from corn, which comes in two primary compositions -HFCS-42 and HFCS-55. This means it is composed of either 42 percent or 55 percent fructose, with the remaining sugars being primarily glucose and higher sugars (chains of glucose).

In terms of composition, high fructose corn syrup is nearly identical to table sugar (sucrose), which is composed of 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose. Glucose is one of the simplest forms of sugar that serves as a building block for most carbohydrates. Fructose is a simple sugar commonly found in fruits and honey.

There has been a lot of headlines circling around about High fructose corn syrup. Which really makes you wonder is there any signs of the truth out there. Why you do not need to wonder any longer, I have gone through almost ever site possible to bring you what I believe is telling you the truth.

So, here I will be breaking down the Fact's and Myth's of (HFCS), that way you do not have to any longer.

We all know that when you try to mix oil with water what happens. So, lets start with the facts which in this case I will call it oil because facts always stay above land.

The fact of the matter is, the reason why a lot food companies have started utilizing High Fructose corn syrup is because its much cheaper then regular sugar. Now, I know this make you want to go inside your own kitchen and put your table sugar to the test. But, the only difference here is that, how they've made (HFCS) is extracted and combined.

Why of course, I am not saying high fructose corn syrup is good for you in any way. As there are loads of multiple food products loaded with (HFCS), which is causing a lot of health issues in the long run. But, what are these health problems? heart disease, obesity, cancer,dementia, liver failure,tooth decay and more.
