Well, it turns out that highly dangerous and fattening ingredient is present in MOST foods we eat these days. This includes white bread, some of the popular so called natural juices that come in a bottle, even highly acclaimed hearty whole wheat or whole grain and multi grain breads. You probably already know about sodas and pretty much the majority of prepackaged food we consume is loaded with a TON of this unhealthy component that our bodies don't even know to metabolize.
Countless studies have linked high fructose corn syrup with heart disease, diabetes, This ingredient is highly dangerous because first and for most is not plain old sugar its highly processed so you get corn, and some "other" stuff and second, it is absorbed more quickly than sugar. Lastly, it enters your bloodstream in a different way than glucose does because it doesn't need any help from insulin. It is also known to raise your cholesterol levels and slow your metabolism which in turn = weight gain if you are sedentary.
Next time you are thinking about popping a soda or buying some supposedly healthy food, please do yourself a favor and always read the labels make sure you look for any kind of syrup, rice syup, usually the higher the content of each ingredient, the closer it is to the top 3 ingredients on the package list....
