What is high-fructose corn syrup, and is it actually bad for you?

Hi, thanks for watching! Fructose is commonly pronounced the way I pronounced it in this video. And it's commonly pronounced some other ways. Now let's talk about something else. How's your day? www.dictionary.com/browse/fructose?s=t

That woman is taking the "Do your own research." adage to a whole new level.

"So I returned to school, got a masters in biochemistry, molecular biology" she mentioned in passing

This is an amazing example of a mother who actually took "do your own research" seriously and did her own science, but properly and solved a problem for maybe thousands of other kids.

I just wanna say thank you so much for making this video. My boyfriend has been struggling with a mystery disease for over two years now, which affected to the point where he couldn't work. It was only through this video, and subsequently cutting out high fructose corn syrup, that he got his life back. Thank you for saving us <3

Imagine you get weirdly sick one time and one of your parents decides to go get a master's degree to research why you got sick

that woman you interviewed near the end literally went back to school and got a degree because something was wrong with her daughter. what a badass.

I first watched this video 2 weeks ago. I stopped consuming anything with high fructose corn syrup since then. I have been able to go on short runs and live my life without needing my inhaler 24/7 or coughing up mucus as if I was a smoker. Your video has actually changed my life.

I feel like being allergic to high fructose corn syrup is a blessing disguised as a curse. Imagine how much healthier you are knowing you HAVE to stay away from high fructose corn surup

"My kid is sick, let me get a Master's degree to understand how and why" Luanne DeChristopher, you are badass!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned how much work that mom did to understand her daughter's allergy.

Thank you. For a while I was a “sugar is sugar” guy and thought this was just an angry mom thing. Now I know otherwise. Thank you for spreading knowledge Adam.

I love it when I get to see what journalism is supposed to be. I am so inspired by Adam and this woman.

The mom was legit holy, she was unsatisfied and went back into college to study and concoct really experiments that have been peer reviewed!!!!

I feel like buying 5 gallons of high-fructose corn syrup for a video is like when you claim to the cop your pound of weed is for personal use.

When I got sick my mom told me to knock it off 💀 this lady is the most inspiring human I’ve ever seen

I can't stop watching your content, Mr. Ragusea. It's all done well, and I'm generally learning pertinent info about things I thought I mostly knew about. The relative sweetness of fructose being the most basic example in this case. And the "excess free fructose" was totally new to me. I'm going to follow up on this topic. You have a talent for being both down-to-earth and an independent thinker, though not in a crazy, reactionary conspiracist way. Great show!

I can’t be swayed into unlearning my pronunciation of “Froocktose”

Jesus that woman is insane. I wish I had the kind of dedication and love for anything, that she has for her child. Hats off to her. We need more people like her.

This is cool to see. For several years I thought I had an ulcer. I couldn't figure out what foods did it, but something would often trigger an agonizing pain my stomach. It would feel like being stabbed in the gut. Finally a few years ago I realized there seemed to be a correlation with drinking coke, eating watermelon, drinking tequila, eating apples, etc. and my this pain-- - The only correlation I could see between those seemingly random things was Fructose. So I searched the web, and using what little info I had, I found that paper on fructose mal-absorption. And it covered a litany of other issues that I thought were unrelated.
