What makes fructose fattening? Some answers found in the brain
"The dietary concerns of too much fructose are well documented. High-fructose corn syrup has become the sweetener most commonly added to processed foods. Many dietary experts believe this increase directly correlates to the nation's growing obesity epidemic. Now, new research at Oregon Health & Science University demonstrates that the brain -- which serves as a master control for body weight -- reacts differently to fructose compared with another common sweetener, glucose."
To put it simply, processed sugars are not good for you. For far too long, the food industry has kept quiet about the use and infusion into processed foods of all kinds of High Fructose Corn Syrup. Try to avoid eating any kind of food that has artificial sweeteners of any kind and preferably stay away from high sugary foods such as cakes, sweets and biscuits especially if your blood sugar is prone to fluctuation.
This advice applies to anyone even if you think you are not diabetic there are many people who are pre-diabetic and those of us that think we can get away with eating food saturated in processed sugar need to think again.
