Drinking high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), the main ingredient in most soft drinks throughout the world, increases your triglyceride levels and your LDL (bad) cholesterol. These effects only occurred in the study participants who drank fructose -- not glucose.

HFCS was not only cheaper to make, it was also much sweeter (processed fructose is nearly 20 times sweeter than table sugar)

the number one source of calories in the US is high fructose corn syrup

we could make radically outrageous improvements in our health as a culture if we just simply stopped everyone from drinking soda

I am HIGHLY confident that the health improvement would be FAR more profound than if everyone stopped smoking

elevated insulin levels are the foundation of nearly every chronic disease known to man

it is metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar

HFCS has also been linked to:

• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Metabolic Syndrome
