High Fructose Corn Syrup Is Great For Us
Ok so here at Breakthroughs to Fitness, we were being a little smart with that title. As you may have seen, the Corn Refiners Association has ran a massive campaign to recreate the poor image of high fructose corn syrup. If you have not already seen the commercials, take a look at one of them below:
In these commercials, they link HFCS to be all natural, just as good as sugar, etc. Since when was sugar good for us?
It’s almost quite impossible to find foods in grocery stores without HFCS. Take a look at the all natural foods and let us know what the ingredients read. In fact, alot of the so called “healthy” breads even contain HFCS.
If you take a look into the scientific world, there are numerous studies linking HFCS to obesity and insulin resistance. Now we all know that there are always studies to go against this statement. So how do we know who to believe…
Just ask yourself this. Do you consider drinking a coca-cola a healthy item to be part of your daily nutrition? Of course, we are able to enjoy ourselves, but the consumption of HFCS is way to high.
There are plenty of Associations out there that will defend their product when it affects their profits. That is a reasonable business objective. However, to run a massive campaign to make people feel like your product is safe, when indeed it is not, is just a scumbag move.
Do your best to avoid foods with HFCS and eventually these Associations will listen as their profits dwindle. In the end you are responsible for your body and the decisions you make. We can only give you our guidance.
Breakthroughs to Fitness’s mission is to empower, inspire, and educate individuals to create the bodies they deserve. The question is, what will you do with our insights?
Dedicated to your results,
