Combat Sports Training Tip - Avoid High Fructose Syrup!
HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is a dangerous chemical poison. It causes obesity and diabetes. High fructose corn syrup has become a huge public worry. Drinking high-fructose corn syrup ... increases your triglyceride levels and your LDL cholesterol. The body processes high-fructose corn syrup differently than it does old-fashioned cane or beet sugar, which in turn alters your body's natural ability to regulate appetite. It blocks the ability of a chemical called leptin, which is the way your fat tells your brain it's there.
A study suggests that eating a high fructose diet for as little as six weeks may make you stupid. "Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," study researcher Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, of the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a statement. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information.
As if you needed another reminder to stop eating processed foods: a new study has found that foods high in high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) can make you stupid.
1. Significant Risk of Weight Gain & Obesity
HFCS gained fat 300% more quickly than those fed an equal (or slightly larger) dose of fruit-derived sugar.
2. Increased Risk of Developing Type-2 Diabetes
Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup can lead to a huge increase in the likelihood of developing diabetes
3. Hypertension and Elevated “Bad” Cholesterol Levels
High-fructose doesn’t just make your body fat. It makes your heart fat too. Together these can cause arterial plague build-up and eventually lead to dangerous heart conditions including hypertension, heart disease, and even stroke.
4. High Fructose Corn Syrup & Long-Term Liver Damage
HFCS is processed by your liver, gallbladder and kidneys. And it’s especially destructive to your liver. When combined with a sedentary lifestyle, permanent liver scarring can occur.[4] This greatly diminishes the organ’s ability to process out toxins and, over time, can lead to an expansive range of other negative health concerns.
5. Mercury Exposure from HFCS
Loaded with alarmingly high levels of mercury. In a study conducted just last year they found mercury in over 50 percent of the samples tested.[6]Mercury exposure can result in irreversible brain and nervous system damage – especially in young, growing bodies.
