Is high maltose corn syrup bad for you?
High maltose corn syrup
You're likely familiar with industrial sweeteners such as high-fructose corn syrup, which is found in a wide variety of foods. Another food additive you may find as you peruse food labels is high-maltose corn syrup. The difference between the two is that the main sugar in HFCS is fructose, while the main sugar in high maltose corn syrup is maltose. Because of their differing sugars, HMCS may not carry the same risks as HFCS. But it's still an added sugar, so limit your intake.
Is high maltose corn syrup bad for you?
Lack of research
Unlike high Fuctose corn syrup, which scientists have studied extensively, few human studies have evaluated the potential health effects of regularly consuming high maltose corn syrup. From a chemical standpoint, maltose is formed from two glucose units as the result of fermentation and is the least common disaccharide found in nature. High-maltose corn syrups contain at least 35 percent maltose, with the typical commercial brand containing 65 percent maltose.
A Lesser Evil
Fructose is the primary component that has caused concern in terms of HFCS. The body breaks down fructose differently than other sugars, and this may cause adverse effects when eaten regularly. Because maltose contains little to no fructose, it may not carry the same risks as HFCS.
Researchers found that regularly consuming beverages sweetened with HFCS increases heart disease risk factors, such as bad cholesterol, more than glucose. Their findings were published in the October 2011 issue of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.
