Far too many products on the shelves today include the alternative sweetner called 'high fructose corn sweetner.' The Corn Refiners Association claims that high fructose corn sweetner (HFCS) is nearly identical to sugar. But take a look at the recent research from Princeton University in New Jersey.
In a 2010 issue of the journal Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior, the research team reported the following: that rats drinking water with HFCS gained significantly more fat than those drinking water sweetened with table sugar and almost 50% more bodyfat than rats eating a normal diet without sweetners added.
Another interesting fact is the HFCS-fed rats also gained more visceral fat around the midsection and had higher levels of blood triglycerides. So, what's the best solution? That would be to eat and drink foods labeled 'organic', which aren't allowed to include HFCS. Of course, you could also read your labels carefully when shopping. High fructose corn sweetner is typically one of the first 2 or 3 ingredients in many products.
So, want to LOSE fat? Workout regularly and frequently, eat quality proteins along with fruits and vegetables.
