Why you don’t want a dose of “ose”

Q: Are juices sweetened with plain fructose better than those containing high fructose corn syrup?

Dr. Wright: Unfortunately, the answer is no. Basically, anything ending in “ose” on an ingredient label — including sucrose, fructose, and glucose (as well as their cousin, corn syrup) — has had its natural goodness removed, leaving a product that severely inhibits the immune system and compromises the body in many ways.
