Truth? High Fructose Corn Syrup



There are two basic enzymes in the mitochondria of cells that burn glucose and fat. High fructose corn syrup causes a mutation of one of these enzymes the one that burns glucose. All sugars and starches are broken down into glucose until the cell can burn them. The two enzymes are basically proteins and act as muscles do. If you exercise them they grow larger and more efficient. The enzyme that burns glucose works during aerobic and anaerobic exercise but during anaerobic exercise the by product is lactic acid (often causing cramps). The fat burning cell only works during aerobic exercise. This basis is the answer to weight loss. Bio-chemist Covert Bailey. What high fructose corn syrup does is creates an anomaly in the enzyme that burns glucose and is so close to glucose that the body begins to learn to run on this foreign sugar creating a new enzyme structure that requires and craves this new sugar. The body basically becomes addicted to this new sugar even though it must expellee all the chemicals that go along with it. The more you ingest the more it grows until it becomes more prevalent then the natural enzymes to burn sugars sucrose (cane and beet) and fructose (fruit and vegetable) thereby defeating and poisoning the natural process. Items like new coke in the 80's the largest selling product in the world and cereals like Captain crunch were the first hallmarks of this change in the American diet. High fructose corn sugar became more efficient in product per acre during the 70s and 80s, and still is today. It can be found in everything from cereal to cookies, from salad dressings to every soda on the market. It is a serious blight on the American diet, and even more detrimental to persons of color any color. I stopped eating high fructose corn syrup last summer. I still eat sugar. I enjoy the flavor of fruit and vegetables with more intensity for I can experience the natural sugars. I think clearer, I sleep less, have more energy, and will never get diabetes or cancer from my diet.

It has been 2 years or more on a basis diet limiting High Fructose Corn Syrup, no soy, (as In dressings), I eat base foods, and still enjoy homemade sweets or buy a Coke from Mexico in the Mexican market in town. The original recipe of Coca Cola with sucrose is still made in Mexico (YOU CAN'T DRINK THE WATER IN MEXICO!). I have not caught a cold, or the flu. I have battled them but never came down with symptoms. I attribute this to my diet, and high level of exercise. 10K 6 dayz and cross training, with bag, weights, and core.
I am still handicapped fighting back.
