5 Health Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup

By 1 Comment

Spread the love

(Dr. Edward F. Group) Since the late 1980s, High Fructose Corn Syrup has replaced regular table sugar, honey, and similar sweeteners in much of our food supply. However a number of studies conducted over the past few decades indicate consumption of HFCS is connected with a range of health concerns, suggesting that prolonged consumption of HFCS, like other genetically modified products, may be bad for your health.

Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup

1. Significant Risk of Weight Gain and Obesity

A study conducted by Princeton University [1], found that rats that were fed HFCS gained fat 300% more quickly than those fed an equal (or slightly larger) serving of fruit-derived sugar.

2. Increased Risk of Developing Type-2 Diabetes

Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup can lead to a huge increase in the likelihood of developing diabetes [2]. This life-long condition can be avoided in most cases. Excessive amounts of soda, energy drinks and junk-food aren’t worth losing a foot or going blind for.

3. Hypertension and Elevated “Bad” Cholesterol Levels

High-fructose doesn’t just make your body fat, it also makes your heart fat. There is a strong link between the irresponsible consumption of high fructose corn syrup and elevated triglyceride and LDL (bad cholesterol) levels [3]. Together, these signal arterial plaque build-up and heart problems including hypertension, heart disease, and even stroke.

4. High Fructose Corn Syrup and Liver Damage

This is a big one. Like anything else you eat or drink, your liver, gallbladder, and kidneys, processes HFCS. And it’s especially destructive to your liver. When combined with a sedentary lifestyle, permanent liver scarring can occur [4]. This greatly diminishes the organ’s ability to process out toxins and, over time, can lead to an expansive range of other negative health concerns. Another study suggests that HFCS may also cause fatty liver [5].

5. Mercury Exposure from HFCS

Did you know high fructose corn syrup is often loaded with alarmingly high levels of mercury? One study found mercury in over 50% of samples tested [6]. Mercury exposure can result in irreversible brain and nervous system damage – especially in young, growing bodies. Way too many foods aimed at children are LOADED with high fructose corn syrup!

Alternatives to High Fructose Corn Syrup

The dangers of high fructose corn syrup are both numerous and severe. If it’s in your diet, remove it. Some estimate more than one-third of the American food supply has been polluted by this trash. I urge you to read product labels and avoid those with HFCS. Replace HFCS with organic locally grown raw honey for sweetening needs.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong.

    It is amazing how this article completely missed mentioning the glyphosate problem. Almost all of our corn is now GMO. It is genetically modified by splicing into the corn’s gene the pesticide glyphosate (courtesy of the evil corporation, Monsanto). Every part of that GMO corn has glyphosate in it. If you eat HFCS, consider yourself eating glyphosate. In fact, any corn by product is glyphosate laden like corn syrup, cornstarch, etc. HFCS is very widely used because these genocidal maniacs make sure they are priced really low. Look at any of your processed products and if it needs any sweetener, HFCS is most likely it. Keep eating glyphosate-laden products and you can probably join the 8,000 entities suing Monsanto right now.
