A contrast statement for my claim would be that it’s not possible to change the school ingredients that will able to resolve childhood obesity‚ because of the consumption of high fructose corn syrup. Given evidence from the article written by Paul-Emil Johnson tells that‚ “Invented in a lab‚ high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) was slowly added to just about everything in our food system” (Johnson para. 16). I agree with the fact that every food products from today contains high level of corn syrup

interesting thing they found was that sugar is made up of two molecules‚ glucose and fructose. Glucose is the kind that spreads all throughout your body. Fructose goes straight to the liver. The liver eventually gets flooded and overwhelmed with fructose. The problem is that the whole time people were blaming the obesity problem on dietary fats. The science behind this is that when the liver gets too much sugar or fructose it

Is Ignorance Really Bliss? The Bittersweet Result of Sugar Big or small‚ wide‚ or short‚ our bodies are temples and are an instrumental piece in our daily lives that are often neglected or taken advantage of. Busy schedules are a very common life event‚ we all run around and often eat on the go which is one of the biggest mistakes in today’s society. Health and nutrition aspects are often overlooked.

Thus‚ if we remove water from carbohydrates‚ all that remains is carbon. Carbohydrates can be divided into 3 categories; monosaccharides‚ disaccharides and polysaccharides (Table 1). Table 1.

Effects of Refined Sugar Refined sugar is made from sucrose extracted from raw sugar cane or sugar beets. Often added to processed foods and beverages‚ refined sugar has several forms such as granulated white sugar‚ brown sugar‚ fructose‚ sucrose‚ dextrose‚ high fructose corn syrup and malt syrup. The average American consumes about 22 tsp. of refined sugars each day according to the American Heart Association (Marina). Refined sugars have led to an obesity epidemic in America over the past 30 years

chains of sugars called glucans. These glucans glue the bacteria to the surfaces of the teeth and form a biofilm which is difficult to remove2. Glucansucrase has two reactions2. Firstly‚ the enzyme breaks sucrose into glucose and fructose. The fructose will be released‚ and the glucose will go to glucan chain. Glucansucrases are large proteins with many domains. These reactions are performed in the central portion of the enzyme‚ which is included in this structure. The enzyme also includes

transport systems such as glucose reabsorption in the kidney‚ or muscle contraction. There are two other monosaccharides: fructose and lactose. Fructose is found in sperm and in fruits‚ to make them more attractive to animals. Lactose is found in the milk of mammals and is an important energy supply for their young. These monosaccharides also help to build disaccharides. Glucose and fructose join together to form sucrose and glucose and lactose join to form galactose. Sucrose is the major transport carbohydrate
