Think you know what you’re eating? Are you reading the labels?

Carolyn Guilford Scientists know that high fructose corn syrup makes it impossible for persons with diabetes to satisfactorily control their blood sugar. Diabetes leads to blindness, heart attacks, amputations, strokes and many other preventable problems, as well as early death.

What is high-fructose corn syrup? It is not the same thing as the natural, healthy fructose in honey and fruit. "High-fructose corn syrup" is a highly refined, artificial product. It is created through a complicated chemical process that transforms cornstarch into a thick, clear liquid. White sugar and "high-fructose corn syrup" are not the same. "High-fructose corn syrup" is worse than sugar.

New research indicates that HFCS fools the body by turning off the body’s sense of feeling full, when eating products containing it. The dangers of white sugar have been known for a long time. But now the evidence is clear that "high-fructose corn syrup" is even more dangerous for those of us with the sweet tooth, by increasing sweet cravings.

"High-fructose corn syrup" is not the corn syrup you buy in a bottle at the supermarket to use for baking. It's an artificial additive that's cheaper and easier for manufacturers of sodas and fruit juices to use. If you read labels, you'll find this additive in such products as pizzas, sweetened yogurt, baby food, ketchup, cookies, beer and frighteningly in most manufactured foods. In foods we don’t think of as sweet. It is in foods with sugar, and in foods with other artificial sweeteners.

If the artificial additive "high-fructose corn syrup" is added to an otherwise healthy food, is the overall product still healthy? If you add a fragment of poison to vitamins, are they still good for you? After all, just a small quantity of poison probably won't kill you on the spot, but the cumulative amounts will. 10 years, 15 years of the collective affects of "high-fructose corn syrup" is evident in the health problems we have today.

Manufacturers of food products began substituting "high-fructose corn syrup" for white sugar in the 1970's. The increased use of "highfructose corn syrup" from the 1970's to now, coincides with the obesity, the out of control diabetes and the rate of cancer that affects us today. The continued consumption of this artificial sweetener will be our downfall, if we don’t take control of what we purchase and what we eat.
