High Fructose Corn Syrup--
Your Waistline’s #1 Enemy

Don’t look now, but your waistline’s #1 enemy is lurking in your kitchen.

It’s in your fridge and even in your pantry. I’m talking about high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).

This stuff is in everything you can imagine. It’s in condiments like ketchup and jams, it’s in juices, sodas, sports drinks… even bread and certain beers!

What’s more, you’ll find that even so-called ‘health’ foods contain high fructose corn syrup.

Health bars and energy bars usually contain the stuff, along with some frozen foods.

Part of the reason high fructose corn syrup is so prevalent is that it’s cheaper to produce than real cane sugar. Plus, it’s easier to transport. That’s why almost all major food manufacturers switched from real sugar to this sweet, sickly substance.

As you probably already know, eating sugary foods and/or foods high in refined carbs causes your blood sugar level to spike. As a result your body releases insulin into your bloodstream.

Your body recognizes high insulin levels as a signal to start storing fat. The more fat your body stores, the fatter you get.

Eventually, this can lead to all kinds of problems including obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and even joint pain caused by all the excess weight.

But that’s not all…

The high amounts of fructose found in high fructose corn syrup have to be processed by your liver. Findings published in the Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine found that rats that were given high amounts of fructose developed livers that were the equivalent of those of raging alcoholics… showing signs of cirrhosis.

At any rate, high fructose corn syrup is definitely something you want to limit your consumption of. Both for your health and to aid your efforts of developing a lean, toned, six pack.

So, what to do?

Here are a few things you can start doing to avoid HFCS:

Check the labels of everything you buy. If it contains it, it will be listed as one of the ingredients. Once you start doing this, you’ll be surprised how many foods contain high fructose corn syrup.

Avoid processed foods. Most, if not all processed foods contain some amount of high fructose corn syrup. Stick with unprocessed foods like lean organic meats, veggies, fruits, and good sources of fat like nuts and olive oil.

Stay clear of low-fat foods. Many low-fat foods, often referred to as “health” foods contain high fructose corn syrup. This is to compensate for the fat that’s missing. It gives it a more pleasant flavor. Stay clear of all low-fat foods. Besides, fats (like omega 3s) are very good for you.

Ditch the soda and soft drinks. Virtually all sodas, juices, and soft drinks contain large amounts of high fructose corn syrup. Some sodas can contain almost 30 grams in a single serving! Instead, drink lots of purified water. Or you can drink unsweetened tea. If you want some zest, add lemon, or crushed mint to your water. If you’d like sweet tea, sweeten it with Stevia, a natural, side-effect free sweetener.

So to sum up, avoid high fructose corn syrup at all costs. The few moments of “Sweet pleasure” you’ll get from eating it don’t come close to the pride, confidence, and well-being you’ll get from avoiding it and developing a lean, flat stomach.

To a healthier, happier you!
