    You are partially correct, the ratio of fructose to glucose in HFCS is dependent on the manufacturer and can be produced with up to a 90% fructose formula.

    I assure you I didn't have heartburn for 6 months. Ultimately diet was very helpful, but even when trying to eat healthy more products use glutamate than you would expect, it comes in many other forms besides MSG.

    You are welcome to your opinion, but here is the site that helped me figure out MSG was the issue.

    Call it crankery if you wish, but a substance that can potentially damage the hypothalamus is not something to be taken lightly. I would not vest much in this information either had I not experienced the changes first hand. I may not be the typical case, I am just relating what helped me.

    This is a good scenario on how it is supposed to work, but most doctors spend so little time with a patient that they do not listen to you, they assume they are always right. It is more profitable for a doctor to kick business towards a drug company than it is to actually help cure you of what is causing your symptoms. I wish it worked as you describe. maybe there are a few doctors out there that still help people, I wish I had found one.

    It is amazing that the food industry as a whole does not take responsibility for this. They fill everything with MSG which is basically a neuro-toxin. It not only overexcites neurons to death but it leads to hyper-tension and heart arrhythmias. It can cause an increase in total blood cholesterol levels by reducing the ability of the pancreas to metabolize cholesterol and expel it from the body.

    High Fructose corn syrup is a substance which the body does not recognize as a sugar so no insulin is released to handle it. Wonder where that goes in the body? How about the lumps of fat everywhere.

    Hydrogenated Fats (a.k.a Trans Fats) are the worst offender of them all and are the reason Saturated fats got a bad name. This is the substance that hardens the arteries and raises your LDL while lowering your HDL, combine with MSG it is time bomb for heart disease.

    There is research by a Doctor Mary Enig that explains the truth about what fats are good and which are bad. Basically the human body needs a 1 to 1 balance of Omega3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. All the vegetable oil that is being pushed on us is Omega6 with very little Omega3 readily available. And if you deep fry with unsaturated oil the fat molucules are unstable, the heating process causes the molecules to bend and connect in ways which are currently defined as trans-fats (i.e. fat molecules not found in nature)

    These are the some of the the things the medical establishment chooses to overlook as it is more profitable to leaves the causes of the problems in place and treat the symptoms until we all die.

    In January I had an irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure, I was sent to a cardiologist to get tested, they said everything with the heart looked fine and they had no idea what was causing it. They put me on blood pressure medication and sent me on my way. Well I hate medication so I did some research and found the link to MSG and how it causes irregular heartbeats by inducing a Taurine deficiency. I changed my diet to avoid MSG as much as possible and also started a Taurine supplement. Now my heart beat is regular and my blood pressure is way down.

    I relate this story because your life is really in your hands. The minute you surrender it to doctors you risk the chance of never being normal again. Always question the cause of things, don't just accept band-aids on symptoms. Also read ingredients and find out what effects they may have on the body.

    Sorry for the rant, but this is a hot button topic for me. Good luck all!
