If you’re serious about losing weight…

By admin | December 25, 2009

Stop consuming high fructose corn syrup or HFCS.  At the least consume in moderation…Why all of a sudden HFCS is becoming the bad kid in the block?  It’s been around since the 70’s and no one seemed to make a big deal of it before…so why now?

I’ll tell you why…because modern science and research has caught up to it and recent studies have linked it with major diseases such as diabetes, obesity and everything that branches from being over weight.   There is now enough statistical data to compare life before HFCS and during it and the results are clearly shocking.

The consumption of HFCS increased > 1000% between 1970 and 1990, far exceeding the changes in intake of any other food or food group. HFCS now represents > 40% of caloric sweeteners added to foods and beverages and is the sole caloric sweetener in soft drinks in the United States. (American Society for Clinical Nutrition)

HFCS is one of the major causes of everything that is unhealthy in America.  A general consensus has been that HFCS is directly linked with diabetes and obesity.
