Is High Fructose Corn Syrup a Sweet Deal for Your Love Handles?


Marketers are pulling out all the stops trying to convince you that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a healthy alternative to sugar - claiming that it's safe and harmless.

HFCS is found in heaps of processed foods that you'll find at the grocery store ... from sodas to canned fruit ... and staggering research points that HFCS is not harmfull to your health - but may also be a contributor to your love handles!

If you want to get rid of love handles and lose belly fat - you must stay away from this substance!

Yahoo! Answers » Blog Archive » High-fructose corn syrup: Have you soured on this sweetener?: "Yes, HFCS is made from corn, but eating it is certainly not akin to enjoying a freshly cooked cob of the yellow stuff. The chemistry is complicated, but the manufacturing process basically turns corn into cornstarch, which is then converted to glucose. The glucose is chemically altered into fructose - although this particular form is different from naturally occurring fructose, which is bound to other sugars. Manufactured fructose is unbound, or “free,” and may interfere with our heart’s use of key minerals like copper, magnesium, and chromium. Not a good thing.

Most nutritionists agree that HFCS deserves a great deal of blame for the obesity epidemic that our country is currently facing. In the ’70s, the average U.S. consumer ingested about a half pound a year. In the mid-’90s, that figure jumped to over 55 pounds per year, per person!"
