High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) refers to a group of corn syrups which have undergone enzymatic processing in order to increase their fructose content and are then mixed with pure corn syrup to reach their final form. HFCS is found in almost all foods, but it has many adverse health effects. What can you add?
| | Correlation between the rise of obesity in the US and the use of HFCS for sweetening beverages and foods |
| | Large quantities of fructose stimulates the liver to produce triglycerides, promotes glycation of proteins and induces insulin resistance |
| | Fructose interacts with oral contraceptives and elevates insulin levels in women on "the pill |
| | Accelerated aging |
| | Fructose inhibits copper metabolism leading to a deficiencyof copper, which can cause increased bone fragility, anemia, ischemic heart disease and defective connective tissue formation among others |
| | Fructose does not stimulate insulin production or increase "leptin" production and thus prevents the body from turning off the appetite so you eat more |
