High fructose corn syrup is causing millions to not lose weight fast

September 17, 2008 by Jayson Hunter 

There is a big fuss right now over the 2 commercials the corn refiners association has released regarding high fructose corn syrup.

To summarize the commercials say that it is okay to consume high fructose corn syrup in moderation. 

Well, what is moderation when high fructose corn syrup is in almost every food Americans eat today.


Obviously their intent is to get people to eat more foods that contain high fructose corn syrup so that the corn refiners make more money.

It was interesting that they showed fruit juice and a popsicle in the two commercials with one of the commercials was based on giving kids fruit juice.

Need I say that most fruit juices on the shelves today contain less than 10% of real fruit juice.

So is it ok to keep feeding ourselves and our kids foods that contain high fructose corn syrup?

Is it harmful to our bodies?

Here are some facts you should know.

When high fructose corn syrup was introduced as a society we started veering away from whole and natural foods such as fruits and vegetables and starting eating more processed foods as well as more soft drinks. 

If you substituted the high fructose corn syrup for sucrose in the same foods you would most likely end up with the same result.

Many people overweight. 

You see they both contain the same amount of calories.  Calories that we don't need. 

If we just avoided these processed foods and soft drinks we would lose weight fast.

If you drank a soft drink with high fructose corn syrup and a soft drink with sucrose you would end up with the same result.  A high calorie soft drink that our bodies do not need.

The bottom line is this.  The definition of moderation to most health professionals is that something can be eaten every once in a while such as 1-3 times a week.  Moderation does not mean 5 times a day, which is what we tend to consume in high fructose corn syrup every day. 

Go back to eating more whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, and natural grains along with lean meats and you will see that you lose weight fast and will keep it off forever.

Yours in health

    Maybe they are wrong, but being from corn country I can understand them. Because of a refusal by the government to implement corn fuel, all of the corn that our farmers were directed to grow to be prepared for that implementation is going to waste. Our state economies are failing. I realize that, in the magical circle of Anheuser-Busch, you probably are not feeling the pinch. But here in Oklahoma we are watching farm after farm be repossessed because the government lied to our farmers.

    They aren't trying to poison you. We aren't evil minions. We're trying to feed our families. Get over yourself.
