High Fructose Corn Syrup (good or bad)
OK, so my question is about Hight Fructose Corn Syrup. This is contained in many drinks, like ALL non-diet soft drinks, Snapple, many drinks.....I know that during the carb-up fruits are not optimum carbohdrate source caus' fructose is slowy digested and more likely to goto liver instead of repleninshing muscles. But what about HFCS??? I am avoiding this caus of that, but are these things really similar to fructose?
ALso, GAtorade has something that is like Sucrose-Fructose syrup as an ingrediant. What the h~ll is that? So should I avoid this too??
Basically my point is, I want to have good carb-up's, but seeing as how damn boring the week is, there is no way in hell that I will get all my calories from Sweet Tarts and Smarties!!!! So I want to be 'good' but how bad are these things?
PS I already eat breakfast cereal (I noticed that Kellogs 'Magiks' ceral, or something like that has the highest sugar content per carbohydrate content, it is the one with Mickey Mouse in a blue magician robe with magical stars everywhere) Also Low Fat Pop tarts, I get frozen yogurt at TCBY (98% fat free of course) I also throw back some Starbucks Frapuccionos, and some other foods. And the Entimans fat free things, those are golden.
