HFCS Protection Protocol

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that fructose is the single leading contributor to obesity in the western diet.”   Doctor Joseph Mercola MD, Note obesity is but ONE problem caused by this deadly "food"

      

What Causes Obesity, Diabetes and Hypertension ???

      

“If you have diabetes avoid HFCS like the plague. If you do not have diabetes avoid HFCS like the plague.”   Doctor David G. Williams MD

   

"What if you were to learn that every day, 25 percent of your calories came from a poison, disguised as a food? And what if you discovered that this chemical imposter was responsible for your insulin resistance and weight gain? And elevated blood pressure. And elevated triglycerides and LDL. And depletion of vitamins and minerals. And even gout, heart disease and liver damage? What if you were to discover that this toxic substance had been dumped into your food in gradually increasing quantities for the last thirty years, with the full knowledge and blessings of the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the USDA and the FDA?      Doctor Robert H. Lustig MD  UCSF        Start of series, NOTE You MUST watch this, This video will help you kick the deadly sugar habit, Fructose the key danger is found in both sucrose, refined sugar, and HFCS

“Research on other hormonal factors suggests that fructose actually promotes disease more readily than glucose. Glucose is metabolized in every cell in the body but all fructose must be metabolized in the liver.  The livers of test animals fed large amounts of fructose develop fatty deposits and cirrhosis, similar to problems that develop in the livers of alcoholics.” Weston A. Price Foundation

“Americans are being poisoned by a common additive present in a wide array of processed foods like soft drinks and salad dressings, commercially made cakes and cookies and breakfast cereals and brand-name breads. This common additive increases the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. This additive is HFCS.”  Life Extension

“A study with animals found that a diet high in HFCS resulted in elevated levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, lower levels of superoxide dismutase and deficiencies of iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc.”  Ivaturi et al

“Lysloxidase is a copper-dependent enzyme that participates in the formation of collagen and elastin. Fructose seems to interfere with copper metabolism to such an extent that collagen and elastin cannot form in growing animals--hence the hypertrophy of the heart and liver in young males. The females did not develop these abnormalities, but they resorbed their litters."  Fields, M, Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1984, 175:530-537

“In 1980 the average person ate 39 pounds of fructose and 84 pounds of sucrose. In 1994 the average person ate 66 pounds of sucrose and 83 pounds of fructose, providing 19 percent of total caloric energy.³ Today approximately 25 percent of our average caloric intake comes from sugars, with the larger fraction as fructose.^” Weston A. Price Foundation

“Pure fructose contains no enzymes, vitamins or minerals and robs the body of its micronutrient treasures in order to assimilate itself for physiological use. While naturally occurring sugars, as well as sucrose, contain fructose bound to other sugars, high fructose corn syrup contains a good deal of "free" or unbound fructose.  Research indicates that this free fructose interferes with the heart’s use of key minerals like magnesium, copper and chromium. Among other consequences, HFCS has been implicated in elevated blood cholesterol levels and the creation of blood clots.  It has been found to inhibit the action of white blood cells so that they are unable to defend the body against harmful foreign invaders.”  Appleton, Nancy PhD  Fructose is No Answer for a Sweetener

“Fructose ingestion in humans results in increases in blood lactic acid, especially in patients with preexisting acidotic conditions such as diabetes, postoperative stress or uremia. Extreme elevations cause metabolic acidosis and can result in death."  Hallfrisch, Judith, Metabolic Effects of Dietary Fructose, FASEB Journal 4 (June 1990): 2652-2660

“Not only does fructose have more damaging effects in the presence of copper deficiency, fructose also inhibits copper metabolism--another example of the sweeteners double-whammy effect. A deficiency in copper leads to bone fragility, anemia, defects of the connective tissue, arteries, and bone, infertility, heart arrhythmias, high cholesterol levels, heart attacks, and an inability to control blood sugar levels.” Klevay, Leslie, Acting Director of the U.S. Agriculture Department’s Human Nutrition Research Center, Grand Forks, N.D

“Researchers have found new evidence that soft drinks sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may contribute to the development of diabetes, particularly in children.” Science Daily, Aug. 23, 2007

“HFCS represents an important but not well-appreciated dietary change which has rapidly become an important causative factor in the development of the metabolic syndrome that clearly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Other research suggests that HFCS contributes to obesity and insulin resistance, encourages kidney stone formation, promotes gout and is contributing to an upsurge in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.” Life Extension

“Fructose is rapidly metabolized in the liver flooding metabolic pathways and leading to increased triglyceride synthesis and fat storage in the liver. This can cause a rise in serum triglycerides, promoting an atherogenic lipid profile and elevating cardiovascular risk.” Gaby

“In a comparison of food consumption and diabetes from 1909 to 1997 only the increase in HFCS and a decrease in fiber intake correlated positively with the rise in type 2 diabetes.” Gross et al

“Even small amounts of fructose circulating in your blood stream are potentially damaging. The rate of fructose-protein cross linking is ten times that of glucose.” McPherson et al, Note this is HFCS accelerated glycation production

“It never ceases to amaze me that the number one source of calories for Americans is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the form of soda. This is so tragic because soda can be one of the easiest dietary modifications to make.” Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

"Sadly, as Americans cut out nutritious animal foods like eggs from their diets, they were left hungry. So they began eating more processed grains, more vegetable oils, and more high-fructose corn syrup, all of which are nutritional disasters. It is this latter type of diet that will actually lead to increased inflammation, and therefore cholesterol, in your body. So don’t let anyone scare you away from eggs (and other animal foods) anymore." Doctor Joseph Mercola

"Crystalline fructose “is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize from a fructose-enriched corn syrup.” This information is from the sugar producers themselves. So, it is made from corn syrup, and not only corn syrup, but “fructose enriched” corn syrup. Sounds like another name for high fructose corn syrup. Another ingredient of crystalline fructose is arsenic. Additional chemical compounds that make up crystalline fructose are heavy metals, lead, and chloride." Doctor Joseph Mercola

"What Could be Worse than High Fructose Corn Syrup? Enter “crystalline fructose,” a high-octane variety of HFCS. Whereas regular HFCS contains 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose, crystalline fructose is at minimum 99 percent fructose, which could only mean that all the health problems associated with fructose may be even more pronounced with this product. In addition to that, crystalline fructose may also contains arsenic, lead, chloride and heavy metals. One popular product containing crystalline fructose is Vitaminwater." Doctor Joseph Mercola, HFCS on Steroids Note you MUST read labels

"Two recent studies provided the first evidence that fructose helps raise blood pressure. One study further suggested that people who consume junk foods and sweetened soft drinks at night could gain weight faster than those who don't.”        Experimental Physiology June 1, 2009; 94: 648-658

"The rate of AGE formation on intracellular proteins occurs up to 10 times faster in the presence of fructose compared with glucose."   Life Extension, Note AGE formation leads to early death

"At HFA we believe there are a lot reasons to avoid soda. High Fructose Corn Syrup comes to mind. But now there is a new reason to it. A new study shows there could be a link between soda and pancreatic cancer. Enjoying a sugary soft drink just twice a week could almost double the risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a new study."   Does Sugary Pop Double Pancreatic Cancer Risk?

“We found that increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup was associated with scarring in the liver, or fibrosis, among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),”       Manal Abdelmalek, MD, MPH,  Duke University Medical Center

   

HFCS the Product from Hell

"Go to your refrigerator and cabinets and look for products that contain HFCS and trans fat and throw them in the trash.”   Doctor Al Sears MD, Note here is a great example of Doctor Al, brief, targeted and correct

"If you give animal’s fructose, they develop diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and fatty liver. And in most of these conditions, if we lower uric acid, we can prevent many of these conditions, [although] not completely. So lowering uric acid seems to benefit some of the mechanisms by which fructose causes disease. So a very important point is that if you take two animals and you feed one fructose and feed the other one the exact same number of calories but give it as dextrose or glucose, its only the fructose-fed animal that will develop obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and high triglycerides, signs of inflammation, vascular disease, and high blood pressure.”    Doctor Richard Johnson Professor Medicine

"The fructose in fruits and vegetables is also not the same fructose molecule you’ll find in synthetic high-fructose corn syrup, which is manufactured in the lab. Naturally occurring fructose comes along with fiber, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, whereas fructose sweeteners have no nutritional value. Additionally, the fructose in fruit is actually attached to other sugars and molecules and needs to be broken down before it is absorbed, which limits the damage it causes. In HFCS it is a free fructose molecule, just as the glucose.”     Doctor Joseph Mercola MD

“The manufacturing process of high fructose corn syrup leaves the fructose molecules unbound. They are ready for instant absorption. In contrast, all fructose molecules found in sucrose are tied up to a glucose molecule. They have to go through an extra step before your body can absorb them. This extra step provides a delay in absorption, which may improve your insulin response. Also, your body may directly convert the extra free fructose into dangerous visceral (belly) fat, while your body burns the glucose for energy. That's why the added fructose in high fructose corn syrup leads to more belly fat.”   Doctor Robert Rowen MD

"In the 40 years since high fructose corn syrup hit the American market, obesity figures have more than doubled. They've gone from 15% to about 33%. On average, Americans consume 60 pounds of HFCS every year.”   Doctor Robert Rowen MD

“Rats consumed high fructose corn syrup over six months. Compared to non-high fructose corn syrup controls, the experimental rats developed the human equivalent of metabolic syndrome. That is, they got belly fat, high triglycerides, abnormal weight gain, etc.”   Doctor Robert Rowen MD

    

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a man made product created from corn syrup. The molecular structure of the corn syrup is changed making at least 55% and as much as 85% of the HFCS into unbound fructose something your body does not know how to handle well in quantity.

Unfortunately for humankind HFCS is cheap; it mixes well with anything, tastes good and is an ideal ingredient in food manufacturing; ideal if you don’t care about the health of your customers. HFCS is our number one source of calories. A substance poisoning our bodies is our number one source of calories. Folks this is a disaster. Do you honestly believe the CDC is not aware of this disaster for our health?

  

Mercury is in HFCS 

“High fructose corn syrup, produced using mercury cell chlor-alkali products, can contain up to 0.57 micrograms mercury per gram and this source may need to be considered when accounting for mercury in the diet.”   Michael West

    

HFCS/Fructose is a Direct Cause of Metabolic Syndrome
