High Fructose Corn Syrup is often in the news, and with good reason. Millions of Americans are sucking down massive amounts each year.
Many scientists believe it’s unhealthy for you, and is a cause of obesity in the USA. In fact, the only folks who seem to think it’s a good thing are “food” manufacturers!
Archer Daniels Midland is a company that makes HFCS, the main ingredient used in sodas, cereals, snack foods, ketchup, barbecue sauce and other processed foods. ADM sponsored a study says that HFCS does not make you fat. Um, yeah. The HFCS maker sponsored a study saying it’s ok for you.
Remember cigarette makers in the 1960’s and 1970’s?
Scientists, health officials and dozens of other studies say otherwise.
The reality seems to be that HFCS turns to fat in the body far more readily than regular sugars. It is also linked with higher levels of triglycerides and LDL (bad cholesterol).
It seems that HFCS, as well as artificial sweeteners, also negatively impact appetite, causing you to eat more food. Diet soda was linked to increased calorie consumption in several studies. That kind of defeats the purpose of “diet” soda, doesn’t it?
That’s because insulin levels don’t seem to rise when you ingest HFCS and artificial sweeteners. This then means that leptin doesn’t get released either.
Leptin, another hormone which is controlled by insulin, tells your brain when you are full and to stop eating. Without it, your system doesn’t get the “all done” message it needs, and you go on eating!
So what this means that because you do not get the message that you are full you tend to overeat which results in weight gain and a higher risk for obesity.
The sad reality is that HFCS contributes to weight gain and obesity by starting a cycle of overconsumption of calories. Our kids are on the front lines of this battle, and their lives may literally be at stake!
Kids are the biggest consumers of snack foods, processed foods and other HFCS sources. Unless, of course, we as parents and responsible adults fight back!
And don’t be fooled by the “crystalline fructose” being used by Glaceau’s Vitamin Water, either! This poison is being chugged by kids and adults alike. Guess what? “Crystalline Fructose” is High Fructose Corn Syrup in disguise!
