    HFCS is main reason causing this obesity epidemic, decades ago there was sugar, people got fat but not morbidly..sad to say most products has hfcs coz its cheaper, from nido, milo, biscuits, corn flakes, c2 ice tea..lahat yan meron..consume it, it converts to fat agad...pero not just ordinary fat, but viceral fat..covers all your organs, starts sa liver then moves on to other organs..

    Galing ako supermarket. Grabe halos lahat juice meron HFCS plus aspartame, acesulfame potassium, sucralose. Walang kamalay-malay mga mommy, dampot lang ng dampot nabobola ng "cool label" and low price.

    Pati tuloy tipco na paborito ko eh nagdududa na ako kasi nabili na ng delmonte. Pati label nagba din hindi ko malaman kung pure juice pa ito or concentrate na lang. Tapos wala na guava and kiwi variant.

    Sa carbonated drinks naman ang matino ingredients yung mug rootbeer. Almost lahat meron HFCS.

    Ampaw talaga department of health bakit hindi kinontra pag pasok HFCS. Dapat ang trabaho nila to safeguard the consumer dahiil hindi naman lahat nagbabasa ng ingredients and mahilig sa nutrition. Hindi na rin ako nagtataka kasi sa curriculum ng mga nagmemedicine halos walang subject na nutrition. Yung mga may kwarta students pupunta pa america para further studies on nutrition.

    Pansinin nyo pag meron HFCS eh lasang bakal / metallic taste

    -

    Ito naman samahan ng mga mag-aasukal hindi marunong mag-welga. Banatan nyo yung dangers ng HFCS para ma-warn ang consumers. Sa internet nyo labanan. Walang kwenta pawelga-welga sa kalsada. Pag naconcious mga tao eh mapipilitan gumamit ng real sugar coke, pepsico, zesto...etc

    -


    Ako ang gusto ko batas eh full ingredients disclosure sa mga label. Naiinis ako sa mga E numbers. Example sa ice cream puro stabilizer (carrageenan, xanthan gum...and other gums. )

    Dito pinas dadalawa brand pa lang real ice cream : haagen dazs vanilla and waitrose vanilla. Other flavors meron mantika and gums. Kaya ko palagpasin if may halo coconut oil pero kung soybean oil, canola oil rapeseed oil corn oil atras ako jan dangerous.

    Walang kwenta selecta, magmolia, fic, arce dairy, nestle, btic, big scoop. Basahin nyo ingredients meron mantika, (E407)carrageenan, (E415)xanthan gum.....etc. Mga fake ice cream. Nambobola yung commercial ng selecta.

    Problem naman hindi lahat gagastos ng 400+ sa 1pint haagen dazs. Waitrose mas mura 300+ and surprsingly mas malinamnam pero hindi lahat bibili sa ganyan price.

    Meron mga naglalabasan local gourmet ice cream kaso naleche naman panglocal lang talaga level walang ingredient list. Eh bakit ako bibili carmens best na 420 pesos eh haagen dazs nageffort iindicate sangkap na kakaiinin ko.

    Sabi buy local daw. Eh kaso mga local hanggang local lang level pang barrio na pinasossy.

    Meron pala bago sweetener na mas nakakatakot kasi disguise as "artificial flavor" (sweetmyx S617)

    Naku yung sinabi ko matino mug rootbeer eh hindi pa pala sigurado. Sana philippine version iba sa american version


    In what it called a “commercial milestone,” the local flavor company, Senomyx, announced in an Aug. 28,2015 press release that beverage giant PepsiCo would soon begin adding the new ingredient to two of its soft drinks — Manzanita Sol, nationwide, and Mug Root Beer, in two test markets in the United States.

    San Diego company’s new ‘sweetness enhancer’ draws scientists’ scrutiny - San Diego news from inewsource

    ‘Clean’ labels

    Shoppers can identify well-known artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose by scanning ingredient labels. But they won’t be able to spot Senomyx’s sweetener enhancers so easily.

    Instead of being listed individually by name on ingredient labels, Pepsi is expected to list Sweetmyx S617 under the broad category of “artificial flavors.”

    “Since Senomyx flavor ingredients are part of a proprietary blended flavor mix,” Senomyx said in a written statement, “they are not individually listed on the ingredient statements of foods and beverages.”

    In 2005, Senomyx’s chief executive told The New York Times that it was “helping companies clean up their labels.”

    Lefferts and other scientists say categorizing sweetener enhancers as “artificial flavors” is misleading. After all, they say, many sweetness enhancers have no flavor of their own. They merely amplify the flavor of other sweeteners.

    FDA regulations state that “The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor.” On its website, Senomyx states that its “flavor boosters don’t provide a sweet taste on their own.”

    “Sweetness enhancers should not be permitted to be considered artificial flavorings for the purpose of labeling,” the Center for Science in the Public Interest wrote in a March 2013 letter to the FDA. “Importantly, we believe that consumers would like to know when their taste buds are being influenced or manipulated by novel ingredients.”

    Unimaginable?

    Read the label next time you buy a Coke.

    Ban all artificial sweeteners ( let's call them "fake sugar").

    High fructose corn syrup is sugar.

    Sugar is sugar is sugar. To a diabetic, they're all the same. They're all bad for you. Whether they're cane sugar, corn syrup, honey or molasses.

    High fructose corn syrup – don't be afraid, it's just sugar

    As long as you are ingesting the same number of sugar calories, you are still exposed to the same effects. All that changes with high fructose corn syrup versus cane sugar (which also contains fructose) is the proportion and attendant changes in glycemic index of the different sugars... fructose is actually absorbed slower, which makes it safer for diabetics... though in either case, it's better to cut back on any added sugar to the diet.

    Personally: Tax them all. Take all added sugars out of all drinks. I don't care if it's cane sugar, honey or molasses... sugar is sugar is sugar. And all our juices are swimming in needlessly added sweetness.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Ok, so, all these xxxxxx are all natural sugar, not artificial. Pardon my ignorance. Then, the reason for this debate (?) about sugar is the importation of cheaper alternatives, at the expense of our local sugar farmers. Na-politika na naman ang asukal. Anak ng ........

    well, everybody here knows against sugar in any shape or from..but telling people that its all the same is wrong...HFCS is deadly coz the body doesnt know what to do with it, its converted to viceral fat instantly, unlike the stuff that came from nature, fruits and vegies has fiber so the absorbtion is slower and the insulin spike is not that high, which can be used as fuel..to a diabetic they need to research bout what a glycemic index, the lower it is the better, i know people cant do what i do, to remove sugar/carbs completely...pero if you cant remove it, like rice and stuff, switch to a lower G.I alternative...
