Science Still Says High Fructose Corn Syrup Making You Fat.....

For those who still believe Sugar and High Fructose Corn Syrup are exactly the same here is some more Science for you. You remember science. It is the method used to prove or disprove something.

In the past I have pointed to a Princeton study that shows HFCS is making you fat. Here is a University Of Utah Study that shows exactly the same result.

If you still don’t believe this study than you can just walk down the street and count the fat people who walk by you. Be prepared to count a lot. Either way the results are clear. High Fructose Corn Syrup is making you (and everyone around you) fat.

Now go to your food cabinet. Find anything that says High Fructose Corn Syrup in it and toss it in your garbage can. When you are done your cabinet will be empty so you will want to go shopping.

Of course when you get to the store you will find very little to buy as everything has HFCS in it. But don’t stress about that now though……. just go get rid of that crap and stop feeding it to your family.

When researchers at the University of Utah fed mice sugar in doses equal to what many people eat, the fructose-glucose mixture found in high-fructose corn syrup was more toxic than sucrose or table sugar, reducing both the reproduction and lifespan of female rodents.

The study showed female mice on the fructose-glucose diet had death rates 1.87 times higher than females on the sucrose diet. They also produced 26.4 percent fewer offspring.

“This is the most robust study showing there is a difference between high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar at human-relevant doses,” said U of U biology professor Wayne Potts, a senior author of the new study scheduled for publication in the March 2015 issue of The Journal of Nutrition.

The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation.

The new findings build on a former sugar toxicity study done in 2013 by the researchers. That study found female mice died at twice the normal rate and the males were a quarter less likely to hold territory and reproduce. Additionally, researchers found no differences in survival, reproduction or territoriality of male mice on the high-fructose and sucrose diets. That may be because both sugars are equally toxic to male mice.

The debate over the relative dangers of fructose and sucrose is important, Potts said, because when the diabetes-obesity-metabolic syndrome epidemics started in the mid-1970s, they corresponded with both a general increase in consumption of added sugar and the switchover from sucrose being the main added sugar in the American diet to high-fructose corn syrup making up half our sugar intake.

Approximately 13 to 25 percent of Americans consume a diet that includes 25 percent or more of calories in the form of added sugars, which was the percentage of added sugars consumed by mice in the new study. Added sugars are sugars added during food processing or preparation and not already naturally in food, like in a piece of fruit.

44 percent of the added sugar is sucrose, 42 percent is high-fructose corn syrup and the remaining 14 percent includes honey, molasses, juice concentrates and agave, all of which also combine fructose and glucose, which also is known as dextrose. He said worldwide, high-fructose corn syrup represents only about eight percent of added sugar consumption.

previous studies in rodents and humans tied pure fructose consumption to metabolic problems such as insulin resistance, obesity and abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Those studies concluded high-fructose corn syrup was worse than sucrose.

The researchers said reducing added sugar across the board is important, as well as decreasing the amount of products you purchase with high fructose corn syrup.
