Beware of high fructose sweeteners

September 2, 2010 by towers

It is very helpful for both patient and practitioner to follow the results of blood work and other tests when a patient is making changes in diet and lifestyle.  The patient will feel better but the  improvements we get in tests results over time are confirmation that we are on the right track.

We have observed that patients who consume concentrated fructose  have  high blood triglycerides and central obesity.   These problems often improve once they avoid the high fructose sweeteners.  High fructose corn syrup is the most common source of concentrated fructose that Americans consume.   It is found in non-diet sodas, many drinks and convenience foods.  Bottled juices, most often made from reconstituted fruit juice concentrates, also provide too much fructose at one time for the body to handle safely.  Other sweeteners such as honey and agave nectar also contain a lot of fructose so it is best to limit their consumption.  Except for vegetable juicing, the rule of “don’t drink your calories” stands as a first step in not only weight loss but getting healthier in general.

For more information on high fructose corn syrup consumption and its negative impact on health, visit http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/04/17/you-did-it–we-are-winning-the-war-on-fructose.aspx
