At the end of last year I read and article on food sweeteners as it relates to kiddos. The article came from New York Times.
Basically the article talks about how fructose (HFC) alter our metabolism and cause disruptions in the body's functionaing to determine whether is should store or burn fat. Its concern is toward obesity and heart disease.
Here are a few key points...
"Fructose, a sweetener derived from corn, can cause dangerous growths of fat cells around vital organs and is able to trigger the early stages of diabetes and heart disease."
"Fructose bypasses the digestive process that breaks down other forms of sugar. It arrives intact in the liver where it causes a variety of abnormal reactions, including the disruption of mechanisms that instruct the body whether to burn or store fat."
