Why exactly is fructose bad?

23 Dec

A long (1:30 hours) video on precisely why fructose (sucrose & high fructose corn syrup) are a poison (almost equivalent to ethanol when broken down in the liver) and worth every minute of it. I’ve read and heard a decent amount on how high fructose corn syrup is bad but this video breaks down the biochemical reactions that take place in the liver and shows how similar it is to consuming ethanol. I highly suggest you watch this as it will change your view of foods around you and hopefully make you more cognizant of what you eat.

The bottom line if you’re too lazy to watch the entire thing: remove all sugar beverages from your diet including juices and replace with water and milk. There is a nice list of non HFCS products (such as breads, yogurts, etc) maintained here: http://highfructosehigh.com/no-hfcs/
