High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

Manufacturers need three days of processing to produce high fructose corn syrup; it’s in everything! Americans consume more calories from HFCS than any other source, which is troubling. It boosts fat-storing hormones, increases LDL levels, and contributes to diabetes and tissue damage, to name a few. It’s highly addictive, too.

Buying “all-natural?” Check the label. Loopholes allow HFCS to be considered a natural ingredient, even though it’s a major contributor to America’s obesity crisis.
