Beware of Junk Foods Being Promoted As Health Food – HFCS is Not Healthy
March 30th, 2012 | 
Author: You may have seen a whole original slew of advertisements online and on television trying to revamp the bad image of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) . They are basically trying to promote this junk food additive as “healthy”.
The advertising campaigns don’t advance proper out and compose the claim that high fructose corn syrup is “health food”, but they do try to secure clever and fool people into thinking that it’s not awful for your health. In fact, they create these misleading claims:
“It’s all natural”
“It’s no worse for you than table sugar”
“It’s made from corn”
“It has the same calories as table sugar”
As you can stare, these ads are trying to deceive us into thinking that HFCS isn’t so awful after all… I mean, they do say that it’s “all natural” and “made from corn”. These ads are pure sleaze!
In my thought, these ads are highly noxious. For one, as if our nation, and the world for that matter, wasn’t already suffering an obesity epidemic, as well as skyrocketing degenerative diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.Now, they’re trying to execute matters worse by fooling innocent people into thinking that high fructose corn syrup is somehow healthy. Meanwhile, as society and our kids glean fatter and more unhealthy, they’re lining their pockets with massive profits since HFCS is in the majority of processed food.
As for their claim that HFCS is “no worse for you than sugar”…I’m not even going to discusss any of the science about how HFCS affects the leptin and insulin process in your body, your blood sugar process, appetite levels, etc.Instead, I want to construct a more vital point:
Who cares if HFCS is “no worse for you than sugar”… because sugar is one of the worst things you can ingest in your body anyway, so it is not even a trustworthy argument!
The point you need to understand is that if you want to be lean and healthy for life, you should be minimizing, or even eliminating all sugar and high fructose corn syrup. In fact, most processed food should be eliminated altogether if you want to be serious about getting lean.
As for their claim that HFCS is “all-natural”… don’t even get me started! It’s impartial a ridiculous statement to open with. I don’t care if you call it “natural” or artificial, the bottom line is that it’s a highly processed, refined substance that makes you rotund!
So the next time you’re thinking about drinking that can of soda, or eating that candy bar or cupcakes, honest mediate about how that is only going directly against your efforts to lose body plump and can even lead to other health problems in excess.
