High Fructose Corn Syrup Causing Worse Tinnitus

[Mathew Gould]

I had waffles the other night with maple syrup and the next day I had louder tinnitus...

Does anyone else get tinnitus spikes with High Fructose Corn Syrup?

That stuff is not healthy at all. I remember when I had, a pancake habit for 6 months and each morning i'd have three with syrup. It increased my BP and made me feel unhealthy. It's been 3-4 months that I have not touched either and things are a lot better.

I am not surprised, with your tinnitus spiking due to this. Hope you feel better.

No. But I try to avoid high fructose corn syrup anyway. When I have syrup I go for all natural maple syrup... this is presumably the first thread on Tinnitus Talk that has made me hungry.

So the natural or real maple syrup doesn't have high fructose corn syrup?

I knew that my 100%-maple-syrup-as-sugar diet had some advantages

It sure doesn't, I make it myself in here:

Maple sap is 1-2% sugar depending on when you harvest it and what kind of maple it's from. You concentrate this ~47x until you have something that's ~66% sugar, presto, it's syrup.

Keep boiling and you'll get maple sugar. I've made about 32 gallons of the stuff over the last 3 years; my family goes through 3-4 gallons a year, and I sell the rest for a pittance (compared to the hours of labor involved).

It should speak volumes that I give cannabis away freely (and legally, here) without a second thought, but the maple syrup only gets gifted to a very, very select few. Even my good friends generally get taxed 40-50 bucks a gallon.

Nice stuff... I liked the Aunt Jemima store stuff. Any similar natural maple syrups I can buy online? Does the store bought stuff raise your tinnitus too?

Weed sends my tinnitus through the roof. I haven't smoked in probably almost 3 years. I don't feel like the same person.

Did you play MTG?

You can get vt/nh/ny/Canada made maple syrup all over; I'd be a little surprised if your local large grocery store didn't have it, and I am sure Amazon and similar retailers sell it.

Red dyes found in specific carbonated drinks seem to mess with my ears; I've never made any connection to sugars. I think HFCS tastes like liquid trash compared to decent cane sugar, though.

Did you play MTG?

Did and do, though only Arena now because of COVID-19. Pandemics aside I try to get to a Legacy format paper tournament or two every year.

I had a bunch of decks and used to play in the late 90s... Started playing in probably 1996.
