High fructose corn syrup, fructose, corn syrup - Poison by any other name

High fructose corn syrup

1. "Sugar in any form causes obesity and disease when consumed in pharmacologic doses." Both are dangerous to the body in the amounts eaten by the average American.
2. "HFCS and cane sugar are NOT biochemically identical or processed the same way by the body." HFCS not only spikes insulin since it goes right into the bloodstream, it also goes right to the liver triggering the production of triglycerides and cholesterol. New research finds that it is a common cause of leaky gut syndrome. "High doses of free fructose have been proven to literally punch
   holes in the intestinal lining allowing nasty byproducts of toxic gut
   bacteria and partially digested food proteins to enter your blood stream
   and trigger the inflammation that we know is at the root of obesity,
   diabetes, cancer, heart disease, dementia, and accelerated aging."
3. "HFCS contains contaminants including mercury that are not regulated or measured by the FDA." Mercury was discovered. Other contaminants were also detected but as yet are unidentified.
   
4. "Independent medical and nutrition experts DO NOT support the use of HFCS in our diet, despite the assertions of the corn industry." The industry takes comments out of context and passes them off as supportive to their products when they are not.
5. "HFCS is almost always a marker of poor-quality, nutrient-poor disease-creating industrial food products or "food-like substances"." Surely we all know by now that nearly all processed food is garbage.

Julie is absolutely passionate about health, and driven to share her message with as many people as possible. "I was the healthy one in the office. I was the one who took care of myself. I thought I was healthy," she says, looking back to before she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She wasn't about to accept a death sentence, so she researched and researched and researched, but she quickly found that conventional medicine had nothing to offer her. She turned to Natural News and Organic Lifestyle Magazine and began a journey towards truly natural health and vibrance, and she's never looked back. "Not only am I symptom free, and healthy, my skin looks great, I look younger, and I feel better than I have since... well, since I can remember!"
