Vaikka tämä ei karpille olekaan käytännössä ongelma lienee se yksi ravitsemusongelmien osa muutoin mualimalla..
"High-fructose corn syrup provokes several alarming health effects:
HFCS increases triglycerides — Often 50% or more. Recall that triglycerides are an essential ingredient for creating several undesirable lipoproteins, like small LDL .
HFCS fails to suppress appetite —When you ingest ordinary sugar, appetite is eventually suppressed. High-fructose corn syrup fails to stimulate appetite-suppressing hormones like leptin . Your craving for more sweets and food is therefore not “turned-off”.
HFCS fails to trigger an insulin response — Sugar provokes insulin release; high-fructose corn syrup does not. This leads to abnormal liver responses, including manufacture of more triglycerides. This leads to weight gain and diabetes.
Critics are blaming high-fructose corn syrup for the growing epidemic of obesity in adults and children. This product is finding its way into more and more products, while the average American is consuming greater and greater quantities.
Beyond obesity and diabetes, high-fructose corn syrup carries special implication for your plaque-control program through its triglyceride-increasing effect. Increased availability of triglycerides (levels of >60 mg on your blood work) leads to lower HDL , more small LDL , VLDL, and thereby fuels plaque growth.
How can you avoid high-fructose corn syrup? Easy: check the label. If high-fructose corn syrup is listed, particularly as one of the first ingredients, then avoid it. You will discover high-fructose corn syrup in many seemingly “healthy” products like low-fat salad dressings.
Even better, follow the Track your Plaque principle of avoiding processed foods and selecting only whole, unprocessed foods. This strategy alone will help you drastically reduce your intake of this terrible product.
