You might have seen "crystalline fructose" as an ingredient in beverages. If you've been wondering what it was, it turns out that crystalline fructose "is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize from a fructose-enriched corn syrup." This information is from the sugar producers themselves. So, it is made from corn syrup, and not only corn syrup, but "fructose enriched" corn syrup. Sounds like another name for high fructose corn syrup. Fructose and glucose are metabolized differently in the body. Glucose is metabolized in every cell in the body, but all fructose must be metabolized in the liver. When a diet includes a large amount of fructose, then it creates a fatty liver, and even cirrhosis. Crystalline Fructose contains a 99.5 percent minimum of fructose assay, which is an even higher percentage of fructose than regular HFCS! Another ingredient of crystalline fructose is arsenic. Additional chemical compounds that make up crystalline fructose are heavy metals, lead, and chloride.
