A study conducted at the University of California Los Angeles and published in the journal Cancer Research showed that fructose was easily metabolized by cancer cells which caused the cells to proliferate.
This is significant! Take a look at most of the processed food labels and you'll see that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is listed in the ingredients. And don't be fooled by packaging that claims natural ingredients, I've seen HFCS in whole grain bread and other foods touted to be "healthy".
In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition there are several studies that indicate that fructose contributes to obesity, insulin resistance and other maladies. And between 1970 and 1990 Americans consumed 1,000 percent more HFCS according to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. I remember reading a Los Angeles Times news article when that finding was published, they also tracked the growing trend of obesity to the increased use of HFCS.
Step away from the fructose. There are other alternatives to using a sweetener that clearly does more harm than good. Take care of your health avoid HFCS.
