High-fructose corn syrup causes extra weight gain
More information on the fructose topic. A Princeton University research team has released a study finding that high-fructose corn syrup prompts considerably more weight gain than table sugar – though the caloric intake is the same.
In addition to causing significant weight gain in lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides. The researchers say the work sheds light on the factors contributing to obesity trends in the United States.
This is a great read which further coaxes me to try and reduce my fructose intake. The more I learn about fructose – the more it scares me.
