Thanks, I had not read that particular review, and it provided a nice refresher on Pollan's main points. Unfortunately you are right about even Nutren and every enteral drink being basically the same. Actually, it was your advocacy of another book: Anticancer - A New Way of Life" by Dr David Servan-Schriber on this board that got me worried about my absolute reliance upon Jevity. Dr S-S stresses how bad such a diet is for people trying to avoid cancer or a recurrence and even his presentation to Anderson which you shared, links the increase in sugar consumption to cancer increases.
As far as I can tell Corn syrup solids are mostly dextrose sugar. Although you would never know it from Jevity's manufacturer which describes it's ingredients as:
[quote] maltodextrins and corn syrup solids are each mixtures of glucose polymers produced by the controlled depolymerization of corn starch. They are most often categorized by dextrose equivalence (DE).They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) food ingredients. Maltodextrins are excellent solids builders for standard and low-fat products. They are effective spray-drying aids for flavors, fruit juices, and other hard-to-dry products. They also are easily digestible carbohydrates for nutritional beverages.[/quote]
