The Cincinnati Reds magic # is down to 6 games after the Reds beat Milwaukee 5-2 and the Cardinals lost to Florida 4-0. The news wasn't as good for the Atlanta Braves last night as th Phillies beat the Braves 3-1, the Braves need straighten out there offensive woes soon or they are not going to me the playoffs. My day yesterday didn't get off to a good start when I found put at work one of our very good customers died of a heart attack Saturday morning, he had just been by out place at 3:30 pm on Friday afternoon and nothing seemed wrong with him. Also it feels like fall may have started a few early this year, it is a very cool 54 degrees here in the Heights this morning. MICKEY
High-Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is worse for you than sugar.
The Truth: The idea that high-fructose corn syrup is any more harmful to your health than sugar is “one of those urban myths that sounds right but is basically wrong,” according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a health advocacy group. The composition of high-fructose corn syrup is almost identical to table sugar or sucrose (55 percent fructose, 45 percent glucose and 50:50, respectively). Calorie-wise, HFCS is a dead ringer for sucrose. Studies show that HFCS and sucrose have very similar effects on blood levels of insulin, glucose, triglycerides and satiety hormones. In short, it seems to be no worse—but also no better—than sucrose, or table sugar. This controversy, say researchers, is distracting us from the more important issue: we’re eating too much of all sorts of sugars, from HFCS and sucrose to honey and molasses. The American Heart Association recently recommended that women consume no more than 100 calories a day in added sugars [6 teaspoons]; men, 150 calories [9 teaspoons].
