This revert was justified because the added content is synthesis about the potential cardiometabolic effects of fructose,WP:SYNTH, rather than drawing on the actual conclusions of the study: "this systematic review and meta-analysis of nutritional isoenergetic intervention trials foundno evidence of a significant effect on the cardiometabolic markers investigated." The prior statement added to the article, "stimulation of insulin and leptin and less suppression of ghrelin" as compared to regular fructose consumption, which could lead to weight gain and obesity," is not a conclusion that could be reached from the meta-analysis of human studies - it is speculation and synthesis from lab studies. A further sentence added was, "One report specifically states "specific actions to reduce fructose consumption, including reformulation of industrial foods, would be desirable" is synthesis, extending from the general research on overconsumption of sugar-ladened food products, but this is not a specific review of HFCS-manufactured products and their potential effects on cardiovascular markers and obesity, for which there is no evidence in the literature. As stated in the article, the point remains that excessive calorie intake from any sweetened foods and beverages is the problem leading to increased risk of diseases and obesity, not the use of HFCS in food manufacturing. The choice of whether to use these products is up to the consumer.Zefr (talk)20:18, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is apublication from the EFSA from Feb 28 2022 that found -the effects of free fructose and free glucose (as monosaccharides) on body weight, liver fat, measures of glucose tolerance, blood lipids and blood pressure did not appear to be different. This is based on 49 Randomized Controlled Trials that were included in the analysis. I wanted to add it as a more recent citation to the current statement on lack of evidence for difference between sucrose and fructose under theHigh-fructose_corn_syrup#Obesity and metabolic syndrome section but was not sure whether this publication qualifies as meta-analysis / research. The current statement in the article reads -The role of fructose in metabolic syndrome has been the subject of controversy, but as of 2022, there is no scientific evidence that fructose or HFCS has any impact on cardiometabolic markers when substituted for sucrose - but the provided citations are a book from 2010 and a meta-analysis originally published in 2020.
Additionally it might be useful to have a simple statement on HFCS being advised against for people withFructose malabsorption#Unfavorable_foods_(i.e._more_fructose_than_glucose). I am not sure where to put this though.Citation.Ujwal.Xankill3r (talk)19:38, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone explain to me how industry separates glucose from fructose using liquid chromatography when producing high-fructose corn syrup.
I've seen some sources say it is ion-exchange chromatography, but as you know both glucose and fructose are mostly neutral molecules.
I've seen this quoted: "The chemical properties of glucose and fructose that influence their solubility in ionic liquids include their molecular size and shape, hydrogen bonding capability, and the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) groups. While glucose and fructose have similar molecular weights, their structural differences – such as the presence of a pyranose ring in glucose and a furanose ring in fructose – can affect their interactions with the ionic liquid, leading to different solubilities."
I've seen talk of using simulated moving bed chromatography, but I want to know what the stationary phase and what the separation method is being used.

I posted an answer here, if anyone wants to translate to Wikipedia that would be great. I am sick of having my edits deleted, so I stopped 10 years ago.
