Glucose Enzyme Syrup: What You Need to Know High fructose corn syrup can trace its origins back to 1957, when scientists discovered how to turn glucose, an enzyme found in corn, fructose, a type of sugar typically present in fruits and honey. By the 1970s, the additive manufactured wide level. Around this time corn producers were blessed with a large windfall, new sugar tariffs and quotas came into force in 1977, making a much more expensive undertaking sugar imports. Faced with increased production, soda giants went looking for a replacement. In 1984, these companies found their answer in high fructose corn syrup. With the full support of the world's largest soft drink producers, high fructose corn syrup was introduced into the mainstream. Today, HFCS is everywhere, even in places where you would expect the least. The sweetener can be found in so-called healthy foods, such as juices, healthy cereals, yogurt, salad dressings, bread and nutrition bars. Even items not usually considered sweet are often made with HFCS, such as barbecue sauce, pickles, jam, ketchup and apple sauce. Not surprisingly, HFCS is widely used in candy bars, and soft drinks of all kinds. HFCS and your health So why is high fructose corn syrup as bad for your health? To begin with, it can expand your waistline in fact; growing problem of obesity in America really began in the late 1970s, around the same time that HFCS was introduced in food supply. In recent years, studies have linked both trends. Such a report is a 2004 study by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which noted that "the increased use of HFCS in the United States reflects the rapid increase in obesity." These findings were reinforced by a study in 2010 by Princeton University. For the study, Princeton, researchers fed sugar cane into a set of rats, while giving HFCS to the other. When comparing the two sets of rodents, the Princeton team found that rats ingested HFCS gained significantly more weight and is particularly vulnerable to abnormal increase belly fat. In addition, rats that HFCS consumed also shown characteristics associated with obesity, such as excessive body fat and increases the circulating blood fats (called triglycerides). A larger pant size is not the only effect that HFCS can have on your body. A 2007 study by the American Chemical Society reported that drinks are loaded with HFCS were full of reactive carbonyls; radioactive


compounds with potential diabetes can lead to cell and tissue damage. A 2009 University of California study offered additional incriminating evidence about the effects of the syrup on human health. Although the study was characterized by a small sample size (16 participants) found that increased consumption of HFCS shaped extra fat cells around the participants' heart, liver and digestive organs. The subjects also showed food processing problems associated with diabetes and heart disease. High fructose corn syrup can also wreak havoc with your blood, liver and kidneys. A report by Medical News Today noted that 2 ½ sugar-heavy drinks per day, about 74 mg of HFCS, is sufficient to increase the risk of high blood pressure by 28-87 percent would be. High fructose corn syrup can lead to a steady build-up of fat around the liver, a development that has long-term consequences for the organ, such as cirrhosis and liver scarring may have. A small amount of the sweetener wind also in the kidneys, where the uric acid is a waste product that can produce high levels of lead kidney disease. Adjusting your diet High fructose corn syrup is an almost ubiquitous presence in the grocery store, supermarket and other food outlets, but it can still be avoided. Here are some simple steps that can help this artificial additive cut out of your diet you: Cut soda out of your diet Buy juices that are made from 100% juice Avoid fast food and processed foods Always check food labels for HFCS
