Two ingredients to avoid!

A common ingredient “High Fructose Corn Syrup” found in a wide variety of processed foods like soft drinks, flavored water, salad dressings, cookies, commercially made cakes, cereals etc. is poisoning our bodies and causing us to gain weight. This unnatural, manufactured ingredient “High Fructose Corn Syrup” was introduced by manufacturers in the 1970’s and gained in popularity because it’s less expense to produce than “Sucrose” an all natural sugar, which was our primary sweetener for decades.

Sucrose an all natural sweetener is derived from sugar cane it’s organic and is digested in the body naturally. While this fake, chemical processed cheaper ingredient “High Fructose Corn Syrup” is digested differently in a bad way. Research has shown that this ingredient goes directly to the liver, releasing enzymes that instruct the body to then store fat. This may elevate triglyceride (fat in the blood) levels and elevate cholesterol levels. Other research indicates that High Fructose Corn Syrup does not stimulate insulin production, which usually creates a sense of being full. Therefore, people may eat more than they should. The key word here is artificial, chemical produced, clear signs to stay away.

Another harmful ingredient to our bodies is MSG. Studies are showing that millions of people around the world are overweight and obese because of harmful ingredients such as; MSG (monosodium glutamate) a food additive found in many common products. How prevalent is MSG in the U.S. diet? Americans consumed about 1 million pounds of MSG in 1950, and today that number has increased by a factor of 300.

MSG affects the appetite and here’s how. Your appetite is controlled by hormones. The pituitary gland, located right under your brain is the master hormone gland in the body. One theory is that this appetite hormone that sends a signal to the brain when one is full is damaged by this ingredient MSG. This then results in an over consumption of calories causing weight gain and obesity.
