High fructose corn syrup can lead to obesity, Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. Yet it seems to be everywhere in our diets. Functional medicine physician Mark Hyman, MD, walks through the dangers of the product and how you can cut it out of your diet.
Because high fructose corn syrup, soybean and canola oil is in EVERYTHING that pretty much leaves me with hardly any options for groceries. You can’t even buy gum without aspartame, a neurotoxin. It’s really sad. I’m sooo disappointed In this country we live in. Truly a conspiracy to make us sick and medicated or dead.
Watch “What the Health” on Netflix . When we decided to switch our diets I was very disappointed when I went to the supermarket. Maybe try a Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s.
@Boner Jamz which would you rather have, higher grocery bills or higher medical bills? What price do you put on your health?
And I do agree with you, natural /organic foods are definitely higher in price.
American food is delicious poison.
@Boner Jamz I guess I will grow and hunt my own food then....... Yeah my survivalists!
@@shannenlibres2365 it isnt even delicious. it is disgusting compared to food in europe
Thank you sir, You have demonstrated great integrity and character in sharing this information, thank you!
Yup this is all true! I’m literally allergic to corn syrup and in the UK corn syrup is banned! America has it A LOT of products in the stores that have High Fructose corn syrup in them. Very surprising and gross. Mostly a lot of kids drinks and foods have it as well. My diet has been very limited but I’m feeling way better after cutting back on the corn syrup products. Lost weight, face cleared up, and got so much more energy! Eating healthier is the way to go. 😊
banned in germany
This is why I keep saying Europe has food and usa has poison. When I moved I realized after my health impact!!!! Nothing is good here…
that is not true i been on High Fructose Corn Syrup for over 30 years and nothing is wrong with me
Just boughtba 12 pack of green tea with ginsing and honey, i took it to work, then read the label. : second ingredient was high fructose corn syrup. Must dump it down the drain, !!!!
I have to do an assignment for school regarding food-like ingredients added to save money or shelf life. I keep seeing these authors dissing "high fructose corn syrup" in it, and I keep remembering a commercial growing up where there was a man and his daughter (or fake, commercial daughter) walking around a corn field saying it was alright. That commercial stuck and I was always like "meh", but now I know, thanks to your video, what the actual underlying harms are. My grades and I thank you, as well as my body. I've been trying to be healthier lately and I will make sure to stay away from fructose!
Dr Hyman. It is sooo, soooo true! Thank you so much for this share.
If you're reading this, I encourage you to e-mail a food company about this matter. Let them know that you the consumer, the person who puts money in their pockets, care about what ingredients and chemicals are going into our foods. Just take 5 minutes of your day and make your voice heard by those who need to hear it. Please encourage companies who already do keep HFCS out of their products, and tactfully ask those who don't to consider switching to more expensive but less detrimental sugar.
Good advice. Eat the whole food - like fruit. Cut out the processed foods with added sugars including high fructotse corn syrup, etc. Got it!
If you really want a regular soda..get a cane sugar one
Or just drink water
Thank you. I avoid it 100%! I feel so much better and I have more energy!
I have stopped using ketchup when I eat out. HFCS is a killer.
Monkey Magic Yes, at home we use ketchup high fructose free. Not sure how that relates to dining out unless you are suggesting I carry healthy ketchup with me to restaurants.
This stuff gives me really bad palpitations and I get shaky if I ingest it. It's in everything now and I have to read labels carefully in order to avoid it.
When they started replacing real sugar with cheaper high fructose corn syrup in most everything in the early 70's everyone started getting diabetes and obesity. Look at the pictures and stats.
This. I thought I had diabetes and it turned out just HFCS! I can have real sugar just fine.
This was brought to my attention on a recent post about Heinz ketchup.
American ketchup has high fructose corn syrup while the same Canadian Heinz ketchup does not!
Are Canadian food mandates more caring for their citizens health? I’d say yes!
In the USA - Back in the mid-1960s, only 1 in 100+ had diabetes. Today - Dec 2018 - 1 in 3 have diabetes.
and high frutuose corn syrups were introduced to an eager and way to sick future public
This is so true. I moved to the UK when I was 18 and gained weight so fast even though I was controlling my portions and eating normal food. Everything there has high fructose corn syrup. I got pcos in three months. it is irreversible. before that I was fine, never had any problems. can't even eat bread coz u never know what is in it.
That's sad. Hope you are feeling better now.
@@christinesuarez6337 Can I tell you if you have changed?
This poison is in all kinds of foods that there is no reason to sweeten.
So... do we need to avoid corn and corn chips as well?
I wish I had known about fructose when I was younger. I was a complete fizzy drink addict. I peaked at a little over 300 lbs. I'm now on my way to getting rid of that junk but it'll take a while. I don't think I will ever fully recover though because no drink satisfies like a fizzy drink. The sweetness and the burn of the carbonation are the perfect combination. Sparkling water is just bitter and adding regular sugar doesn't make it taste any better and regular sugar is 50% fructose so I can only lose doing that.
I've almost eliminated sweetened drinks in my diet. Once in a while I have some sweet iced tea or juice, both the natural freshly squeezed and the instant ones. Though I haven't gone more than 190 pounds. It is tricky for me because I don't get fat easily yet my blood sugar is very unhealthy and I can't monitor that as often as I want to. When I have learned about aspartame in fizzy drinks, whenever I see other people drink it, I feel like they've been drinking poison. I'd like to taste fizzy drinks less often like once a year, but then it tastes like poison when you have not had it for a long time.
Without trying to sound like a total shill, here are two suggestions; spindrift, it's sparkling water with some fruit juice in it (5%-6%), usually
She.he may have died due to heart disease from his obesity.
Thanks for the information...
Thank you, doctor!
each time i eat/drink anything thats high in high fructose corn syrup . it makes me like super sleepy/sluggish/tired type feeling that i really hate !
Same here
Question is why has the USDA done nothing about this. People still love soda, processed meats, processed juice and all the junk food we know.
FDA threatened by big AG also pay off congressman or senators so they can poison the general public. Ohh let me guess, they also invest in pharmaceuticals that keep us alive once we hit our 50s. The Right food is medicine "non processed veggies"
Thank you!!
Excellent!
Maybe we should make this stuff illegal
I started having bladder issues since switching to a soda with HFCS. I thought I had diabetes, so I got tested and told I didn't. So I switched to soda and drinks with imitation sugars like aspartame, which, made me again develop bladder issues, even worse, with UTI. So again to other drinks, with real or no sugar. I make water, I am fine minus water brash. I make coolaid, and I get heart burn, but no bladder issues. Why, It has just as much sugar if not more than a can of soda that used to cause me bladder issues? So I think the answer is, HFCS causes bladder inflammation.
Buy fruits and a juicer .
Make your own juice
Molecularly, HFCS is nearly identical to regular table sugar, cane sugar, maple syrup & molasses. You should be telling people to avoid those, too. HFCS became rampant in the American diet when the federal government pushed low-fat foods on America & it was substituted for fats in so many foods. The low-fat diet has made Americans the sickest people on the planet!
The only sugars that are healthy are fructose contained in whole fruits with fiber, & glucose starches found naturally in vegetables & whole grains. You should emphasize those, especially the importance of eating lots of fiber whenever you eat any sugars.
High fructose is seriously bad and America seems to be the only country in the world using this poison.
>fat bad
>replaces fat with sugar
:trollge:
And pure honey
THANK U...
Dr Hyman, you are America’s hero in this battle to regain our health. Are there any non-profit or otherwise groups out there specifically taking on this government funded march of death we are on in America. Please share those links or names. Thank you!
Watching this after drinking it, I feel 🤮
Can liver damage be reversed? If caught soon enough?
if the dangers are hidden how did you find them?
Hidden from the general public.Not hidden from scientists and reseachers.
The dumbest of the dumbest you are Ransom Locke
Seriously… Am I the Only one that ‘got’ the joke?! Has no one ever heard of sarcasm?
hey. if one never eats HFCS but accidentally has a couple of bites of food with HFCS, will the fat accumulate to a large amount ? or does fat only begin to show when consuming it daily? (hint this happened to me recently)
Sugar (as in table sugar) is half Fructose. Fructose can only be processed by the liver. Potatoes contain NO fructose, unripe bananas contain NO fructose. Fructose is proceed in the liver in a similar way to Alcohol. High Fructose consumption causes high oxidative stress and inflammation of the liver cells, leading to live damage like alcohol. A lot of fruit has fructose, so have fruit in fruit in limited to moderate amounts only. NO fruit juice. Low amounts of fructose is no problem, you system can handle it.
Julien Garcia ...Check out Dr. Mark Hyman's books on Amazon. Wonderful reading! Very enlightening... I began avoiding sugar in any processed form. When needed, I used natural sweetners such as local raw honey, Aguave(dark Amber), Yucan Syrup(straight from the plant, nothing added)& Dk Molasses. Things like that, IF I JUST NEED a liquid sweetner, otherwise I use a lot of Medjool Dates(nice sweetner). I promise once you start cutting back on any sugars of such, your body will start feeling sooo much better, and you'll get to the place it truly does not crave sugar and it is easy to pass right by it when you smell a batch of chocolate chip cookies baking in Barnes and Noble. Ask me how I know! Lol
Holy schit this needs to be on the Jewish owned american media outlets 24/7
One is the manufacture going to the original ingredients to is it organic or the soil is organic three are they trying to cut back prices and this is why the corn syrup is not good for us and for if they take a certain intake let’s say every day of drinking something with corn syrup is it bad for them just like anything else too much of anything
sugar from a natural source like fruits is actually good for you because generally there's fiber attached.
sugar like the one you put in your coffee or in a candy bar is bad. HFCS is thee worst form of sugar there is.
Soy el único que habla español aquí???
Soy de Tucumán Argentina, capital mundial del limón y un masivo productor de azúcar de caña.
Últimamente ningún alimento en Argentina usa azúcar, todos los alimentos usan jmaf o hfcs, el problema llegó a Argentina ya que siempre usamos azúcar y ahora desde hace unos cinco años jmaf que cuesta 60% del precio del azúcar. Tengo entendido que si consumo azúcar llama a la insulina y se abre la célula para ingresar perooooo....si consumo jmaf, no llama a la insulina, no se abren las células y pasa derecho como glucógeno hepático o sea grasa abdominal......solo se trata de dinero, el capital en contubernio con los delincuentes de los organismos públicos que deben protegernos de alimentos nocivos, son los promotores de la muerte masiva de la población.
My Coca Cola bottle says "cane sugar". I'm assuming that its the same?
No sir. Cane sugar is normal natural sugar from the sugar cane
I can’t think of meals without fructose
He might be right about fructose from fruit being safe, but this is because the amount per item of fruit itself is quite low, and the fibre in which it is contained slows absorption, meaning that the fructose molecules arrive quite slowly at the liver, enabling the liver to deal with it safely, rather than being swamped by a massive bolus of fructose which might happen eg after eating a bowl of ice cream and butterscotch sauce. Fructose from fruit however is NOT safe because it is natural. That would imply that ‘natural’ fructose is a different molecule from the fructose in ice cream, which is of course untrue. The word ‘natural’ has been abused in nutritional journalism, usually as a synonym for ‘safe’, and often followed by the word ‘goodness’. Things that occur in nature, which really means everything if you accept that humans are part of nature, are not safer or better because they are ‘natural’. Scientists should avoid using the term ‘natural’ as part of an argument to persuade you of the validity of their scientific model.
Why did God say in the bible of fruits and vegetable (plain)you can eat unlimited?.Don't think God made fruits and veggies to harm his creation.Its the man made stuff that should concern us.
finally some actual truth
horrible stuff, totally destroyed my liver
no closed captions for Deaf ... you mean
High fructose corn syrup has crept into our food supply over the last few decades. Now compared to regular sugar, it's cheaper, it's sweeter, and it's absorbed much more quickly by the body. Fructose was initially thought to be a better choice for diabetics due to it's low glycemic index. However, high fructose corn syrup and high fructose in the diet leads to insulin resistance, to obesity, to type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. You see, only your liver cells can process fructose and that's where the problems begin. Fructose goes straight to your liver and it starts a fat production factory and it triggers the production of triglycerides and cholesterol. It actually is the sugar that causes the most trouble for your cholesterol, not the fat. Even worse, high doses of fructose punch little holes in your intestinal lining causing what we call a "leaky gut" and that allows foreign food proteins and bacterial proteins to enter into your bloodstream and what that does is it trigger information and that makes you gain weight and causes type 2 diabetes. Studies show that high fructose corn syrup increases your appetite and it promotes obesity more than regular sugar. Now high fructose corn syrup also contributes to diabetes, inflammation, high triglycerides, and something we call "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease," and it increases the fat in the liver, which now affects over 90 million Americans, that can even cause fibrosis or what we call liver cirrhosis. In fact, sugar in our diet is now the major cause of liver failure, and that makes sugar the leading cause of liver transplants. So, should you stay away from everything fructose? Well, you should as much as possible, but fruit is the exception. Fruit has fructose, but it's naturally-occurring and it doesn't have the same effects as high fructose corn syrup, it's packaged with fiber, vitamins, minerals and all sorts of healing nutrients. So unless you eat massive amounts of fruit, fructose should not be a problem. Now, high fructose corn syrup represents more than 40% of the core sweeteners added to our food and beverage. If you find the word high fructose corn syrup or the new term "corn sugar" on a label, stay away if you want to be healthy. It's a sign of very poor quality food. The easiest way to completely avoid high fructose corn syrup is to eat real, whole, unprocessed foods. Now if you have to buy packaged food, I want you to read the labels carefully to identify sugars in all its disguises. Sugar's hidden in over 80% of the 600,000 processed foods in the market. Now beware, it's disguised in 200 different names, things like maltodextrin and other things you wouldn't recognize. Now, if you can't pronounce it, or you don't recognize the ingredient or you wouldn't add it to food that you cook yourself in your kitchen, then don't eat it.
The attack against Fructose is misguided. Yes, high fructose corn syrup laced with mercury is horrible for you, but pure fructose from a clean source can be a very medicinal carbohydrate. It's big advantage is that, unlike glucose, it's use is not inhibited by elevated free fatty acids aka the randle cycle.
So thats why I am fat and have man boobs. I wish someone would have told me sooner. Where was Dr Fauchi when this happened
It’s all a plan to keep the hospitals paid. Just buy organic stuff. Look at the labels at all time.
I Love high fructose corn syrup. Cheap and delicious.
You’ll definitely love it when you start having chronic illnesses that were easily preventable if you were to make the necessary lifestyle changes to cut those illnesses out completely!
An apple a day keeps your fructose coming
quite sadly hes been killed after this video
Man is not dead what are U talking about
Idiot
2020: 905
Yay
fructose doesn't contribute to type 2 diabetes, that's entirely glucose
I need to bake a cake with high fructose for my mother🤗
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAGAHAHAHHAHAGSGSHHSHSHHSKSKKSKAKAKAKKAKAKA
Woah there buddy 😅
Killing her eh.
Fruit sugars are about 55% fructose and 45% glucose. That is the same proportion of high fructose corn syrup that is used in soft drinks.
Table sugar, which you call regular sugar, is sucrose which is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose that are easily broke into their monosaccharide forms after ingestion and are 50/50 fructose/glucose.
Maple syrup is 66% sucrose.
There are no sugars that are more healthy. Stop lying to people.
Does not matter what you eat. If you are eating sugar, you are eating fructose.
BS that fruit fructose is different. It is the same exact thing.
The problem is over consumption of sugars, not the type.
Nice try, Kraft paid sock puppet.
That’s why you don’t eat tons of fruits and eat less sugary ones ideally, and they have so many other benefits that a bit of it is gonna massively improve health
And parasites,bacteria ,cancer love that stuff.
Great india
There is literally as much sugar in 4 apples as their is in a can of Mountain Dew they’re both sugar and are processed into fat by your liver 😂 the gained electrolytes and 8g of fiber are not any better for you than slamming a pop people need to learn about what food is and it’s effects not this nonsense this is bad this isn’t language 😂
you’ll change you’re mind when you start to have health problems from having a bad diet.
@@valkyire35 that’s a bad diet even if you don’t think it is😂
@@SavannahRay-n9o sure explain to me what’s bad about it
@@valkyire35 there’s nothing foolish about me saying that refined sugar especially hfcs is bad for the body it’s linked to type 2 diabetes, obesity, brain shrinkage, non alcoholic fatty liver disease, sleep problems, etc…
@@SavannahRay-n9o linked to, not caused by, and so is sucrose for literally everything you just mentioned yes, it is incredibly ignorant for you to say those things when they’re wrong high fructose corn syrup is effectively the exact same as sucrose there’s a reason why both of them are considered simple sugars but you wouldn’t know that yet weirdly you’ll go out and preach things that you don’t understand
