Good to Know
Found on naturalnews.com:
“High-fructose corn syrup, unlike natural table sugar -which is produced from sugar cane or sugar beets - is manufactured through an industrial chemical process that turns starch molecules into fructose and glucose molecules, according to the CSPI’s release.
A highly refined, extracted sweetener like high-fructose corn syrup is not natural.”
Have you noticed, it’s in EVERYTHING?!
Just look.
Even in yogurt and bread.
“If refined sugar is so dangerous, even in small amounts, what can diabetics and obese people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes do to avoid it? First, turn to natural sweets like fruit. The natural sugar found in fruit and honey is fructose, which is much healthier than refined white sugar. However, commercially sold fructose, better known as high-fructose corn syrup, should be avoided, as it can contain up to 55 percent sucrose, which requires insulin to metabolize.”
This is not breaking news, I learned about it three years ago, but I think industry is doing it’s best to keep most people pleasantly in the dark about it. Ignorance is bliss. I am looking at the labels more closely these days. Sometimes it’s unavoidable for me to eat this stuff, that is how sneaky it is…. the lousy bastages! :-D They’ll pay for it one day when they eat enough of their own product.
Me? I’m going to look for sugar or honey when I need sweetness.
