High Fructose Corn Syrup
This the first part of a series explaining to you what can cause a dip in your health regime. What comes to mind when we think of sugar? Candy, cavities, energy, and perhaps something you add to your coffee/tea everyday. The sugar I'm here to explain is High Fructose Corn Syrup. I purposely highlight it in red for you to notice it's in almost all American/man-made products. It is a processed sugar. Processed as in mixed with something else to get.....this product.
High Fructose Corn Syrup reacts to ones body differently compared to natural sugar. Fructose has a different metabolic response with the body than sugar. When fructose reaches the liver it is turned into fat and overtime will cause weight gain and the feeling of hunger to eat constantly. High Fructose corn syrup is also linked to high blood pressure and diabetes. High fructose corn syrup is a sweeter sweetener and is much cheaper to make as opposed to production of natural sugars.
Two "free" food products served here on base contain high fructose corn syrup. One is an "electrolyte" drink and the other is a "NUTRItious" bar. Next time you decide to open a can of your favorite soda or have a need for a candy product, check the label for High Fructose Corn Syrup and don't consume that product. Your liver and body will thank you very much :-D Stay tuned for a #2 ingredient that is processed. Be Well.
This video is an excellent example between a healthy liver and a deteriorating liver:
