Fructose

the type 2 diabetes that cause by high fructose (19). They allocated animals into a normal group, a control group of consumption high fructose and high fructose-treated group for eight weeks (19). Moreover, through the oral glucose tolerance test, blood and tissue sample for the data collection, the result demonstrated most of values such as blood glucose and free fatty acids, plasma insulin and cholesterol were increased significantly in the high fructose-feeding group after the probiotics…

if the food source contains mostly fructose, then a special pathway for just fructose is utilized by the cell. In this pathway, the fructose is converted into fructose 6-phosphate with the help of the enzyme hexokinase. The fructose 6-phosphate can then be used in glycolysis just like glucose because glucose gets turned into fructose 6-phosphate in the third step of glycolysis. Fructose is often found in synthetic sources of carbohydrates such as high fructose corn syrup. Research regarding the…

available. The large availability of the non-natural sugar in stores today create opportunity for major weight gain, metabolic changes, heart diseases, and diabetes (par. 4). Health benefits of glucose make glucose a very valuable substitute for fructose and other forms of added sugar, but because of the low representation in accessible markets, it does not seem…

Food is one of the most basic necessities humans require for survival. Humans consume a notable amount of food on a daily basis to keep the body active, to supply energy for everyday activities and to satisfy cravings, but does men know what are put in their food? Have you ever wondered how food stay on supermarket shelves for a very long period of time without getting rotten? The answer to that is food preservatives. Food preservatives are added to food for many reasons including the…

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is killing off honey bees due to being fed affected High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) with the deadly contaminant. The experiment should be Bruce and his father testing the HFCS in different temperatures and different areas, to see how the HMF forms. For Bruce and his father’s hypothesis: At different areas and temperatures, the HFCS develops the contaminant, HMF. The independent variable of this experiment is the HMF and the dependent variable is HFCS because the HFCS…

Sugar is an organic compound with different sweetness levels. Sucrose is white crystal refined from beet plant or the cane. It is has two sugars (disaccharide) - glucose and fructose that is broken into simple sugars. Primary sugar present in refined corn syrup and fruits are fructose, while glucose is the only brain fuel that also provides body energy as it’s transported in the blood stream. How sugar is utilized in the body Digestion of unprocessed, natural and whole food produces all…

disease is a chronic digestive condition that is triggered by eating gluten. Celiac disease mainly involves the immune system. The symptoms are mostly gastrointestinal. A person with celiac disease won’t suffer from anaphylaxis. Fructose can also be a food intolerance. Fructose is a natural sugar that can be found in fruit and…

Moreover, fast food marketing is misleading us and children about fast food. Fast food industry identifies children as their “future customer” and spent a large amount of money to attract children by its marketing strategies. An average fast food company spends $2 billions USD every year on child marketing (Schor,89). As a result, kids watch at least ten junk food ads every day in average and about 98% of those products are high in fat, sugar (Schor, 92). These fast food brands establish their…

scientists) was examining sugar beets when he discovered sucrose.1 Later in 1802, Franz Achard (who was a student of Marggra) was the first to set an industrial process for its extraction.1 Sucrose is a disaccharide which is made up of glucose and fructose (they are linked due to their anomeric carbons).8 It’s extracted through crushing the sugarcane with…

glucose results in the body utilising the excess energy as storage fat. However, fructose is a dangerous compound: fructose can only be metabolised infrequently in the liver. Fructose does not cause the production of insulin, which regulates energy intake, storage and usage. Excessive fructose can produce more fat than glucose, alarming as fructose is now being consumed in record high amounts (Kimberly Ancira, 2013). Fructose has a pentagonal shape, allowing it different properties from glucose…
