(Phys.org) —A team of entomologists from the University of Illinois has found a possible link between the practice of feeding commercial honeybees high-fructose corn syrup and the collapse of honeybee colonies around the world. The team outlines their research and findings in a paper they've had published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. http://phys.org/news286524208.html Biology Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:30:02 EST news286524208 (AP) -- Chocolate milk has long been seen as the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down, but the nation's childhood obesity epidemic has a growing number of people wondering whether that's wise. http://phys.org/news224132293.html Medicine & Health Mon, 09 May 2011 03:59:55 EST news224132293 The dietary concerns of too much fructose is well documented. High-fructose corn syrup has become the sweetener most commonly added to processed foods. Many dietary experts believe this increase directly correlates to the nation's growing obesity epidemic. Now, new research at Oregon Health & Science University demonstrates that the brain – which serves as a master control for body weight – reacts differently to fructose compared with another common sweetener, glucose. The research is published in the online edition of the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism and will appear in the March print edition. http://phys.org/news216478956.html Medicine & Health Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:02:57 EST news216478956 More and more people have become aware of the dangers of excessive fructose in diet. A new review on fructose in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) indicates just how dangerous this simple sugar may be. http://phys.org/news209669377.html Medicine & Health Mon, 22 Nov 2010 17:30:06 EST news209669377 High-fructose corn syrup is often singled out as Food Enemy No. 1 because it has become ubiquitous in processed foods over about the last 30 years -- a period that coincides with a steep rise in obesity. One of the primary sources of high-fructose corn syrup in the American diet is soda -- in fact, many public health advocates refer to soda as "liquid candy." http://phys.org/news207506300.html Medicine & Health Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:40:01 EST news207506300 (AP) -- The makers of high fructose corn syrup want to sweeten its image with a new name: corn sugar. http://phys.org/news203702538.html Medicine & Health Tue, 14 Sep 2010 17:40:04 EST news203702538 (PhysOrg.com) -- Pancreatic cancers use the sugar fructose, very common in the Western diet, to activate a key cellular pathway that drives cell division, helping the cancer to grow more quickly, a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center has found. http://phys.org/news200046187.html Medicine & Health Tue, 03 Aug 2010 10:00:01 EST news200046187 Scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center have discovered that a diet with high levels of fructose - levels equivalent to that in high fructose corn syrup - and of trans fats not only increases obesity, but also leads to significant fatty liver disease with scar tissue. http://phys.org/news196426705.html Medicine & Health Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:59:14 EST news196426705 (PhysOrg.com) -- High fructose corn syrup, which is linked to obesity, may also be harmful to the liver, according to Duke University Medical Center research. http://phys.org/news188147759.html Medicine & Health Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:50:01 EST news188147759 A diet high in fructose increases the risk of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), according to a paper being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego, California. The findings suggest that cutting back on processed foods and beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may help prevent hypertension. http://phys.org/news176100729.html Medicine & Health Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:40:03 EST news176100729 Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees. Their study, which appears in ACS' bi-weekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, could also help keep the substance out of soft drinks and dozens of other human foods that contain HFCS. The substance, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), forms mainly from heating fructose. http://phys.org/news174746800.html Chemistry Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:20:02 EST news174746800 Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees.

Daniel Lane and colleagues at Johns Hopkins, building on the suggested link between the consumption of fructose and increased food intake, which may contribute to a high incidence of obesity and Type 2 diabetes. http://phys.org/news157187750.html Medicine & Health Wed, 25 Mar 2009 08:16:12 EST news157187750 As researchers continue to examine the role of sweeteners in the diet, it's important that people understand the differences among various ingredients used in scientific studies, according to the Corn Refiners Association (CRA). Interchanging two distinctly different ingredients, such as pure fructose and high fructose corn syrup, creates factually incorrect conclusions and misleads consumers. http://phys.org/news155397066.html Medicine & Health Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:52:05 EST news155397066
