Health Effects Caused By High Fructose Corn Syrup
The American public once more has been deceived into believing that high fructose corn syrup isn’t harmful to your health. The truth is, though, there is plenty of research that proves otherwise. A recent study published in the Nutrition Journal uncovered the risks of (HFCS) showing how excessive consumption disrupts the gut health which then leads to fructose malabsorption. This may also produce inflammation and metabolic issues, which are both closely related to an increase risk of cancer. Obviously, regular refined sugar creates health problems as well; but this highly processed sweetener causes increased health issues…so it needs to be avoided. The manufactures have included this (HFCS) in so many processed foods to make them more palatable but it can trigger and create unhealthy food cravings.
High fructose corn syrup is essentially cancer food and consuming even one can of sugary soda per day accelerates intestinal tumors. Diets high in (HFCS) and processed foods are linked to metabolic issues, such as obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. But what’s even more alarming is that sugar directly appears to feed cancer, helping tumors to grow faster. Sugar creates the perfect storm for tumor growth.
Other issues of concern of (HFCS) and refined sugars are:
The increased risk of diabetes. Consuming excess sugars can lead to insulin resistance, your body’s cells then respond less to insulin. This in turn may lead to type 2 diabetes and can also overwork the pancreas, reducing its ability to produce insulin effectively.
High sugar consumption increases inflammation; contributing to higher risks of heart disease, damage to blood vessels, increased plaque in the arteries. Inflammation can contribute to arthritis and certain autoimmune disorders. It increases your risk for fatty liver disease since the liver has to metabolize the excessive amounts of fructose into glycogen. (excess glycogen is converted into fat). Too much fructose can lead to non alcoholic fatty liver disease, as well as other health challenges.
So, it’s time to clean your body and rid the ‘junk’ food from your diet–and your family’s. Your future health will thank you for it.
