Question #7 from Food Picker.Org
Q. What's all the hype about high fructose corn syrup? Isn't it just another sugar?
HFCS is found in corn that's why it is called: High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Here in America, an abundant amount of corn was produced especially when the demand went up for using cost-effective sugar (which is widely used in the food industry). HFCS was then created, converting glucose with fructose and eventually replacing table sugar with HFCS. Both fructose and glucose are monosaccharides and so the issue about HFCS contributing to obesity more than table sugar is flawed.
Taken from Foodpicker.org:
A recent study from Princeton University found that rats given HFCS gained significantly more weight compared to rats given table sugar even though the amount of calories consumed were the same.
Contradicting, should humans be compared to rats? They don't have the same "blood volume" do they?

Question #6 from Food Picker.Org
Q. Can you reverse pre-diabetes? My doctor just diagnosed me with pre-diabetes.
Yes, pre-diabetes can be reversed through making lifestyle changes that will normalize the state of your body. One of the best ways to make this happen is through regular exercise and taking the proper food nutrition needed. Check-ups on a regular basis would help as well to increase awareness and attain homeostasis.

Question #5 from Food Picker.Org
Q. Can I take 100-200 micro grams of chromium picolinate per day to help to lose weight and help with my slightly high glucose levels? I think 100-200 micro grams/day is a pretty small dosage. I am checking with my cardiologist but I would appreciate your input also!
To intake chromium picolinate for the purpose of losing weight is not suggested as there are other better means for losing weight such as through exercise. In this natural way, individuals are able to assure a positive effect in their physical and mental well-being.
Chromium Picolinate is a nutritional supplement taken for chromium deficiency. Chromium deficiency is a disorder characterized by a lack of chromium in the body. Chromium can be found in:
whole-grain products, processed meats, high-bran breakfast cereals, coffee, nuts, green beans, broccoli, or spices.
