| | High Fructose Corn Syrup |
 | | Since the effects of fructose are most severe in the growing organism, we need to think carefully about what kind of sweeteners we give to our children. | | | Derived from cornstarch, usually a combination of 55 percent fructose and 45 percent sucrose. | | | Consequently, the results from these studies must be carefully considered as to their scientific relationships to humans. |

| | Fructose Sugar |
| | As the liver must change fructose into glycogen then change the glycogen into glucose, there is a delay in the energy in fructose being utilized in the body. | | | Actually, most of the time, however, unless your body needs to immediately increase it's blood-sugar level, the liver changes fructose into glycogen first. | | | Glucose is the sugar our bodies use for both physical and mental energy. |
