There is no shortage of sugar in the 21st century. From such obvious items like doughnuts, candy, and sugary drinks, to the less obvious, which now include most every processed food on the shelf at the supermarket.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) Research has shown that the highly processed fructose in HFCS contributes far more to obesity and insulin resistance syndrome than simple table sugar.2 In animal studies, fructose consumption was found to produce: • Insulin resistance • Impaired glucose tolerance • High insulin levels • High triglycerides • High blood pressure Consuming HFCS also contributes to fat deposits in your liver (fatty liver) and increases the buildup of dangerous lipoproteins, part of cholesterol deposits, in your blood vessel walls.3 This leads to plaque buildup and a narrowing of your blood vessels, which increase your susceptibility to both strokes and heart attacks.4 DOWNLOAD FILE for more of the article
