High Fructose Corn syrup is an artificial organic sweetener, used worldwide to enhance the taste of all types of drinks. The moderate sweetness of this syrup is the main reason for its popularity. It makes drinks go down the throat more easily, giving a more pleasant treat to the taste buds. But, like all other famous things, it is a matter of serious debate all over the globe. There is a serious battle going on between the health experts and the drink industry authorities. Experts believe that this artificially made syrup is hazardous to health due to various reasons. They say that continuous, heavy use of this syrup can cause obesity, diabetes and cardio diseases.
Sugar and obesity are time old and world famous rivals. The drink industry experts believe that drinks rich in fructose are a good alternative for sucrose for a healthy lifestyle. They move a step ahead very confidently and claim that these drinks help lose weight. But, the scientific research from the authentic sources says the inverse. Carefully conducted scientific research says that when taken in even a little more than the optimum amount, fructose syrups can cause double damage to the body weight and fitness than sucrose. They also say that fructose-syrup driven obesity is very difficult to manage and treat.
Diabetes and sugar are like best ‘friendly-enemies’ to each other. There lies a very delicate inverse relationship between the two, in order to keep the lifestyle promising. Research has revealed that consuming fructose-corn syrup for even a few weeks reduces insulin efficiency. Insulin fails to bind the molecules properly in order to be moved towards the breakdown sites. It means that we have enough insulin in our body but, it cannot perform its function properly. Research also says that some isomers of this organic compound can block insulin molecules permanently. To our great surprise we still found some selfish drink manufacturers promoting fructose-corn syrup for diabetes controlling ability.
Heart and sugar might not be as close to each other as the heart and sweetness. Fructose corn syrup has been reported to increase the chances of heart attack. They have also proved that this syrup can be a potential cause of cardio-vascular diseases. Its high concentration in blood not only increases blood pressure but also, affects the elasticity of coronary and other veins. So, we must better avoid over-use of this syrup for the sake of our heart’s health and go with the chemical-free drinks.
