I agree... I have my Type II diabetes under control through weight loss and diet and I'm not on medication but when I travel to the U.S. and encounter HFCS in small amounts here/there in things like Ketchup or whatever I still notice my sugar is higher for up to a week after returning. It's still within limits but it raises the average number for me and that is with just the occasional encounter.
Now my spouse who has a sweet tooth and Type II has a heck of a time even with medication keeping his sugar under control after consuming normal amounts of HFCS whereas this doesn't seem to be a problem eating similar here made with real sugar from beets or cane.
I really think that should be banned. Just from personal experiences.
I agree. HFCS should be banned. I notice that when I consume HFCS my sugars stay high, but real cane sugar its a blip and then back to normal.
