I know how bad high fructose corn syrup is for me. I was wondering what everyone thought of this. On Oprah, Dr. Oz said that high fructose corn syrup actuallys blocks a chemical that tells your brain that you are full. I really believe this but was wondering if anyone else has heard anything else about. I wonder because one of my qualms about dieting is that I never feel full until its too late (another reason why I stick to smaller plates with smaller protions)

It has no nutritional value at all. I try to avoid it.
1i just gave up caffeine six weeks ago. i have to give myself a little more time before i give up something else.
2Oh Audrey, that's a huge sacrifice!
3yeah..it was hell the first few days but now not so much. my next thing is to drink more water. i have been surviving on sprite zero the last six weeks. which has fructose corn syrup. i have to give up things in slow moderation or it never takes.
4yay for aud!! the only time i have caffiene is when i'm drinking tea, other than that i avoid it like the plague!!
5Audrey about five years ago I gave up soda. Just started drinking water instead. If I have a soda it only every once in awhile. Other than that the only caffiene I have is tea which really doesnt have that much to begin with
6You ladies are much stronger than I.
7i also think i am going to start drinking green tea again..but i need to buy some decaf green tea. i have to get my health straightened out because i feel like crap anymore.
8i wish you lived by me aud, we could start jogging together...
9Wait, I read somewhere that tea has more caffiene than coffee
I'll need to find
out more info...
10i would love to start jogging i just need to get rid of this fatigue and muscle pain first. i went to the doctor today and she drew 7 vials of blood. my arm is sore as hell.
11Tea has half the caffiene of coffee. Im never affected by caffiene though. but i dont like coffee.
Audrey- are you getting enough protein and vitamins. FOr the last couple of weeks I felt like crap and I realized I hadnt really been eating because of school. I started eating more protein and taking my vitamins again and started to feel better. I also startedto eat more apples
127 vials?? ouchies!
13Could it be an Iron deficiency Audrey?
14yeah i take multivitamins. i am having at least five other symptoms along with fatigue and muscle pain. i haven't felt well in awhile. that is one of the reasons i gave up caffeine.
15they have checked me for anemia before and thyroid problems and both came back fine. i am sure the blood tests i had run today checked my iron. i should know something soon. hopefully all is well and it is nothing serious.
16Multivitamins are great! I take 2 everyday. Hopefully you'll pin-point your fatigue!
17yeah audrey hopefully you will figure everything out. Eating healthier though will help though
18Ok so I just read somewhere else that because your metabolism processes HFCS differently than regular sugar it keeps you from feeling full and increases the appetite eeerrrrrr
19Thanks for doing the footwork on it JessNess. Knowledge is Power!
20(okay just so everyone doesnt think that I have no basis for what I am going to say, I almost have a degree in nutrition)
Design- taking 2 multivitamins a day is NOT healthy because you can seriously overdose. A vitamin A toxicity can be lethal and can cause serious problems if you were to get pregnant.
HFCS has to go through your liver before it goes to your blood, it actually has a lower glycemic index than table sugar. It can, however, increase your total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the bad kind). It is usually found in sugary junk foods and coke.
I dont believe in "bad" foods. If I did though, cokes would be on the list.
21cams, what if it's recommended by the actual bottle. My vitamin jar says "Take six tablets daily with meals." The only warning it has is "Excess vitamin A intake may be toxic and mayincrease the risk of birth defects. Pregnant woman and women who may become pregnant should not exceed 5,00IU of preformed vitamin A per day."
22I take the One a Day Essential multi vitamin. YOu take it once a day with a meal
23wow I cant believe that a vitamin says you should take it six times. I know those Dr Phil vitamins you have to take like 8 vitamins 3 times a day. Its really just ridiculous.
Keep in mind that vitamins arent regulated by the FDA or anyone! who knows what you are really taking! be careful!!
24can i just say that i love dr .oz? and i saw that episode too! soooo interesting....
