(OT)High-Fructose Corn Syrup

enhances intestinal tumor growth in mice.
The authors of this report write Whether these findings can be extrapolated to humans requires further investigation.
I normally don't pay attention to 'nutritional' threads on this forum, but this report was published in Science, an extremely (!) selective journal with very rigorous review standards.

One of the conclusions is that the fructose plays a significant role in this kind of tumorigenesis. The reference is Goncalves et al. Science (22 March 2019) 363:1345.

My taken on this is: Watch your intake of sodas that contain high-fructose corn syrup as the sweetener.

HCFS is fed to honey bees in China in mass farming operations. $.15 HCFS is fed to the bees and they run it through their body and add their enzymes. The dept of Agriculture identifies it as Honey. Be careful where you buy honey. USDA Grade A only means it is highly filtered honey. US beekeepers are being put out of business by this unfair trading practice.

There is a documentary series on Netflix titled “Rotten”. I believe it’s the first episode that is about the honey industry and how China has destroyed the domestic producers with artificial ingredients.

high-fructose is evil. It was created by the Soviets - and we know what happened to them ...

I have doubts that HFCS is much, if at all, different than table sugar or honey as far as our metabolism is concerned. They’re all broken down into simpler sugars anyway. They are all probably equally bad.
