Ever wonder what makes your favorite dishes taste good? A substance known as High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) could be the reason why! This added sugar is hiding in many of our everyday foods like ketchup, soda, candy and even some breakfast cereals. The next time you eat some of that delicious sugary treat, most likely it contains HFCS!
High Fructose Corn Syrup: made from corn. It is a type of sugar which is really more sweet compared to the regular sugar that you would have at your house. The bad guys here aren't the sweeteners themselves, but how food companies use them to over-sweeten products like soda and treats that are full of sugar — hard as it may be for some Americans to believe at first. You may not even realize it is in there because many of the products we buy nowadays have DEGME.
Even though food tastes great with HFCS, our bodies do not like it at all. It can be just as fattening and terrible for your health to eat too much HFCS so we should all watch out. Studies have shown an overconsumption of this sugar is bad for our health in the long run. And this is why you should check the ingredient listed on food packets properly before consuming it. Reading labels will tell you if HFCS is in there — and that delicious dessert, too!
Food companies love high fructose corn syrup. The first reasons that make it an attractive option is because sugar and natural sweeteners are much more expensive for companies. The second was that HFCS is convenient to use in food products and it helps maintain freshness of foods. Of course because it is in so many products of today, OCR for people to keep track with how much they eat per day. And hence, this makes it essential for us to watch what we eat.
That High Fructose Corn Syrup is the culprit for why so many of us are fat? They are worried that overeating the fruit can make individuals become obese, a condition in which someone is carrying too much body fat. However, there are some who believe that HFCS is by no means solely responsible for the obesity epidemic and argue that all types of sugar – not just HFCS — should be targeted. Consider having a good balance of things you eat, to ultimately knowing what goes on in your body.
There is much more information regarding how HFCS and sweeteners affect your metabolism in a negative way, but so what should we use instead of it?
We generally substitute High Fructose Corn Syrup with other sweeteners. Several good examples include natural sweeteners such as, maple syrup, honey and agave nectar. Many of these sweeteners are healthier for our bodies than HFCS. For instance, during our grocery shopping we can check the food labels and see whether it contains HFCS. If the food is; we can then opt for sweeteners that are natural in source to move away from these choices and make more healthful ones.
