Don't eat High Fructose Corn Syrup! HFCS is the epitome of empty calories.
George Bray, MD in his article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states that HFCS increased 1000% between 1970 and 1990, far exceeding the changes in intake of any other food or food group. HFCS now represents 40% of caloric sweeteners added to foods and beverages and is the sole caloric sweetener in soft drinks in the United States.
Dr. Bray states that the increased use of HFCS in the United States mirrors the rapid increase in obesity. He further explains that since HFCS is manmade (that’s right it is not found in nature) the body reacts differently by not stimulating insulin secretion or leptin production. What this means is that HCFS does not satisfy our hunger! So why is it found so abundantly in the American diet?
