High Fructose Corn Syrup

You may be wondering what is fructose? What is the problem with HF? And how does it affect my health? Fructose is the Sweetener found in fruit; however, when it is taken out of the fruit and added to glucose to make table sugar, HfC syrup, and hundreds of other varieties, it is altered because it no longer has the pulp and fiber to keep it stable, digestible, and safe. When Fructose is stripped from the fruit it becomes a carbohydrate which is metabolized like a poison to the liver. It is metabolized like ethanol, which is alcohol without the buzz. Walk in a public place and look at the people you see and count how many look like they have beer bellies. Well 68% of Americans do and it’s not from beer. So what can we do? First become aware, read labels and ingredients, begin replacing processed foods with fresh foods, start changing your pallet to appreciate natural sweetness. Next, let the food industry know you don’t want sweet, you want healthy. Lastly, be an advocate for your friends and loved ones, educate them about the Health risks including: hypertension, diabetes, obesity, addiction, metabolic syndrome and heart disease.
