Sugars misunderstood by consumers Sunnrs, a chemical term referring to a group of carbo hvdniles, may be well loved but they are much misunder stood by consumers, says Dawn C. Hawkins, county ex tension agent. Fructose, high fructose corn Nvrtip. dextrose, lactose, mo lasses, turbinado and honey are all names of sugars. Su crose, common table suRor, Is chemically composed of equal amounts of glucose and fruc tose. "Fructose contains Just as many calories as glucose on a weight basis, however. It is a bit sweeter than glucose," Ms, Hawkins notes. "Honey con tains more fructose than glu cose, but Is a rich source of both sugarsas well as calo ries. Those who say that sugar use in the U.S. is down are distorting the facts, says Joan B. Welner. Oregon State Uni versity Extension foods and nutrition specialist. Sucrose use Is down somewhat, but this is due to the greater use by the food processing indus try of high fructose corn sweeteners (H.F.C.S.). Dur ing 1980-81. price increases in beet and cane sugar made corn sweeteners more attrac tive. Food processors built new plants to produce II F.C.S. Now corn sweeteners command 21 percent of the Annual Morrow Co.

H.F.C.S. Is roughly one third to one-half less expen sive than sugar (sucrose). Soft drink bottlers have quickly adopted the use of H.F.C.S. The caloric value of soft drinks containing both sugar and H.F.C.S. Is about equal to tranditional sodas. "While the per capita use of caloric sweeteners stood at 124.9 pounds, about a half pound shy of the all-time record set in 1982." Weiner reports. As with salt, arother popu lar flavoring, most of the sweetening of food occurs out side of the home. Processors add about 62 percent of the sucrose and almost all the corn sweetener to foods and drinks. The average consumer uses about 27 pounds of sugar at home or in restaurants. The 98 pounds of calorid sweeten ers are "hidden" in soft drinks, baked goods, break fast cereals and other foods. "Although sugar consump tion has been linked to nume rous types of behavioral ab normalities, scientists have been unable to confirm these relationships." Weiner adds. Local news bits Mrs. Burl Coxen of Salem, formerly of Heppner, visited her brother, Clayton Ayers, and his wife, over the week end. One of the highlights of her visit was attending the dedication ceremony for the Willow Creek Dam. HOMELITE CHAlNSAWSAEJi NEW Model 150, 16-in. Bar Sale Price 210 Re2 XL-12, 20-in.
