An investigation by scientists from the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) followed 559 children ages 14-18. The study subjects' dietary habits were measured; their blood analyzed and blood pressure, body fat and other health measurements taken. The researchers found a correlation between high-fructose diets and markers for heart and vascular disease such as higher blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin resistance, levels of C - reactive protein, related to inflammation.
Teens whose diets included more HFCS also had lower levels of HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) and of the fat burning hormone adiponectin. In addition, study subjects who often consumed the industrial sweetener were more likely to have midsection fat, referred to as visceral adiposity, another known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. More generalized fat distribution does not appear to have a link to HFCS or the other health risk factors.

High fructose cannot be good for any if you read articles regarding it, but yes surely the young should not have so much of it.
News,views and education are words that come to mind to let all know the consequences

I do agree with you on this Joe. Fructose, sugar call it what you will does nobody any good. My grandson is a dentist and he loathes the sugary stuff as he calls it that are included in so many of the childrens fruit drinks, sauces, food etc etc So it's not only the harm it can do with weight type problems, obesity diabetes, heart disease it is also the other often not thought about damage it can do. Try your best to keep away from it.
