How High Fructose Corn Syrup can affect your health

Did you know that High-Fructose corn syrup (HFCS) could be secretly sabotaging your health especially if you're managing or trying to prevent diabetes?

Here’s the scoop...

HFCS causes rapid blood sugar spikes, makes your body more resistant to insulin, and leads to weight gain all major risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Since it’s processed mostly by the liver, it also promotes fat buildup and contributes to fatty liver disease, a condition that worsens diabetes risks.

But that’s not all. HFCS is hiding in places you might not expect, like sodas, snacks, bread, and condiments. It even tricks your brain into thinking you're still hungry, causing overeating and more trouble for your blood sugar.

Hence...

•Avoid sugary drinks: Stick to water, herbal teas, or unsweetened beverages.

•Read food labels: Check for HFCS in processed foods and skip products that list it as an ingredient.

•Choose whole foods: Fresh fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed options are naturally HFCS-free and better for controlling blood sugar.

•Limit packaged foods: Many processed items are loaded with added sugars, including HFCS, which can lead to blood sugar spikes and weight gain.

These small adjustments can have a big impact on your overall health and help you keep your blood sugar in check.
