High fructose corn syrup has been suspect for some time as being an underlying cause for obesity. Found in many everyday items from juice drinks, chips and even bread, it has become the sweetener of choice for most manufacturers because it’s cheaper than sugar and more concentrated.
Most people understand that if you eat foods high in sugar it can cause weight gain and obesity, but now there are new revelations about the super sweetener causing disease too.
Fructose consumption accounts for approximately 11% of the calories in the average American diet and has been linked to many health conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease and now liver disease. Clearly the American diet is killing our children. While liver disease was once thought of as only occurring in adults, particularly those who consume excess alcohol or drugs, liver health has become a major concern for the youth population as well.

While most of the focus seems to be on high fructose corn syrup as a cause for obesity, it is important to not overlook corn products in just about every processed food we eat. Additionally, we drink milk from corn fed cows, and eat corn fed beef. We eat corn fed chickens and the eggs from the same. We eat corn fed pork in all it’s forms. It has become very difficult to avoid the different forms of corn, and the list of additives to food would never indicate a corn connection. In April of 2012, the first grass fed milk has hit the shelves from Nature Valley. It is called (drumroll) Grassmilk. I haven’t tried it yet, but plan to. Also, farm raised fish is fed with corn. Knowing most corn is now GMO, this is especially concerning. Butter, cheese, kefir, yogurt, all are coming from corny cows. In experiments several years ago, they found out that corn was the absolute best food to feed livestock as it fattened them so well. That’s why they use it. It’s in our cat/dog food, too, and our pets are totally obese, unless they don’t eat much at all.
Also, lets not forget the corn oil that is used to fry chips, chicken, etc. and is added to many of our foods. I read an article tonight that said that since the 1970′s, the use of corn in food has gone up 1000%
