High Fructose Corn Syrup, also known as HFCS, glucose-fructose syrup, glucose syrup, fructose syrup, glucose/fructose, high-fructose maize syrup or corn sugar is a corn-based sweetener that is used in thousands of food products including sodas, soft drinks, fruit juices, ice cream, candy, baked goods, cookies, ketchup, soups, salad dressings, breads, crackers, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup HFCS is a mixture of fructose and glucose, and is used by food companies because it is cheaper than sugar and gives food products a longer shelf life. HFCS is responsible for a host of health problems such as obesity, high cholesterol, insulin problems, Type 2 diabetes, liver damage, hypertension, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, migraines, ADHD, etc. http://globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/high-fructose-corn-syrup-dangers http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/01/03/high-fructose-corn-syrup-even-worse-than-weve-been-told.aspx http://buzzle.com/articles/high-fructose-corn-syrup-dangers.html HFCS and the link to cancer: http://naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2012-10/high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-pancreatic-cancer http://sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100803092150.htm HFCS is often contaminated with mercury which can lead to brain damage. http://naturalnews.com/025442.html Corn, the source of high fructose corn syrup, is now often genetically modified, which causes many serious health problems. Glucose is used as fuel and metabolized by the cells in the body. In contrast, fructose can only be metabolized by the liver which turns fructose into fat. When consuming fructose, 30% will be stored as fat... Fructose, in contrast to glucose, has no effect on appetite, which results in overeating and obesity. http://naturalnews.com/024046.html http://lef.org/magazine/mag2008/dec2008_Metabolic-Dangers-of-High-Fructose-Corn-Syrup_01.htm The fructose found in fruit and in some vegetables is actually quite healthy as it contains fiber, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and beneficial phytonutrients. In contrast, the fructose found in HFCS contains no nutrition and actually pulls nutrients from the body! HFCS hinders the absorption of minerals such as magnesium, copper and chromium and affects the receptors of insulin, leading to Type 2 diabetes. In addition, HFCS causes high cholesterol and impairs the immune system. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2007/07/10/how-high-fructose-corn-syrup-damages-your-body.aspx http://naturalnews.com/026468_sugar_Amazon_corn.html The food industry is trying to convince us that High Fructose Corn Syrup is natural, equal to sugar and therefore perfectly safe. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/23/dramatic-example-of-how-the-food-industry-lies-to-you-about-corn.aspx http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/14/a-new-name-for-high-fructose-corn-syrup http://naturalnews.com/034950_HFCS_fructose_sugar.html Do no longer believe the lies of the food industry and the 'main stream' media.
