High Fructose Corn Syrup is killing all of us

A spoonful of sugar might make the medicine go down. But it also makes blood pressure and cholesterol go up, along with your risk for liver failure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Sugar and other sweeteners are, in fact, so toxic to the human body that they should be regulated as strictly as alcohol by governments worldwide, according to a commentary in the current issue of the journal Nature by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). link Think of how many ingredients are in jelly. Not many. 1 of them is High Fructose Corn Syrup. I checked all the brands on the shelf. Think of how many kids across the country eat PB&J sandwiches daily. Go check your ketchup bottle, any high fructose in there? How many people use ketchup daily? What about soda? When will humans be properly educated on the poisons we willfully pay money to ingest? Sadly, some people might be borderline on the subject, if that, and see a commercial like the one above and roll over like a submissive dog. The presence of mercury in processed HFCS was first revealed through the results of two little-known U.S. studies. Researchers from the two studies reported that about half of tested samples of HFCS contained the toxic element, a substance known to wreak havoc on the nervous system, neurological function, and overall biological function. Even more concerning is the fact that mercury was found in nearly one third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage items, which listed HFCS as the first-or-second-highest labeled ingredient. Of course these are only a sampling of popular products containing HFCS as a main ingredient, and it is a significant challenge to find processed food brands that do not contain HFCS as a major ingredient.

That’s why it’s poured into a huge majority of mass pproduced processed foods. 2. High fructose corn syrup does weird stuff to your body While the commercials claim that it’s fine in moderation, the truth is that the whole problem with high fructose corn syrup in the first place, is that moderation is seemingly impossible. The syrup interferes with the body’s metabolism so that a person can’t stop eating. It’s truly hard to control cravings because high fructose corn syrup slows down the secretion of leptin in the body. Leptin is a crucial hormone in the body that tells you that you’re full and to stop eating. That’s why it’s so closely associated with obesity in this country. It’s like an addictive drug
