Ok, so been checking out the dangers and side affects of corn syrup. I never knew how many food and drink products corn syrup is in. I did some googling and found some interesting information. Corn syrup doesn't break down like natural sugars and causes some serious fat problems to be kicked back out into the blood stream, causing heart disease and causing pimples. I have been breaking out the last couple of years like a teenager and I couldn't figure out why. I exercise regularly and eat a little better than most. I don't drink a lot of soda so I couldn't figure out why. I've wondered about artificial sweetners for a long time and found out about corn syrup causing problems. There is also Sulfite in corn syrup. This gives items longer shelf life and causes the pores to clog, thus the pimples and causes other side affects like headaches. I recently cleaned my frig and cubbard and am going to cut corn syrup completely out of my diet. It's been two days and my breaking out seems to be clearing up. I will continue to moniter but I think I'm on to something. Corn syrup is a lot cheaper than sugar. That seems to be why the food manufacturers are using it and the FDA does nothing to stop it...seems a little fishy to me with all of the problems and deseases it is suspected of causing.
Any comments, thoughts, facts or articles?
