let’s talk about the downfall of high-fructose corn syrup

it’s been a real popular sweetener for the last thirty years in fact in 1980 an

average American was consuming about 20 pounds of it per year and then it spiked

in in year 2000 the 61 pounds and then in 2015

went down to 39 and if I’m not mistaken in the last couple of years it’s even

downtrending from that point in fact quite a few companies are making the

shift from high fructose corn syrup to different forms of sugar

unfortunately PepsiCo Snapple Pizza Hut Kraft Foods and there’s actually a

really long list of companies that are moving away from high-fructose corn

syrup the problem with high-fructose corn

syrup is that we have 53% glucose then we have 42% fructose and the rest of it

is different types of sugars and the problem is this fructose right here does

some serious damage to your liver all of your cells have receptors for glucose

but not fructose only the liver has these receptors to break down fructose

if you’re consuming a lot of fructose what’s gonna happen is you’re gonna

overload the liver and you’re gonna create all sorts of problems with

insulin resistance a fatty liver eventual cirrhosis so fructose is very

unhealthy for the liver now with ironic is sucrose table sugar

is 50/50 roughly glucose and fructose so table sugar from my viewpoint is also

very very unhealthy because it has a lot of fructose fructose is the fastest

way to fatten up your liver and your gut but also the way that they make high

fructose corn syrup is in a lab and it comes from corn starch okay and corn is GML

now cane sugar is not GMO but beet sugar and by the way there’s a tremendous

amount of beet sugar still being sold and that’s GMO unfortunately so

you’re getting that added glyphosate that herbicide at least with cane sugar

to my knowledge you’re not getting that extra added chemical glyphosate anyway

the awareness of sugar as well as high fructose corn syrup over the last few

years is creating a really good awareness and because a lot of companies

are going sugar-free they’re using stevia and they’re slowly going away

from this sugar and definitely the high fructose corn syrup now this is

interesting in the 70s versus nowadays okay there has actually been a decrease

by 44% in the consumption of milk if you compare these two time periods for beef

it has gone down by 33% cheese has gone up by a hundred and ninety-three percent

that’s interesting and then we have yogurt check this out in the 70s versus

now it is spiked nearly 1,600 percent unfortunately it’s probably not the

plain yogurt that we’re talking about it’s we’re talking about the sweetened

yogurt there’s so much extra added sugar in yogurt it’s not really a healthy

product and then we get grains okay so an increase by 12.7% okay and check this

out corn between the 70’s and present we

have a spike of a hundred and eighty percent increase in the consumption of

corn products but look at the corn sweeteners we had a spike of over 300%

now realize recently that has come down considerably but I had a difficult time

finding the different types of corn sweeteners because you have high

fructose corn syrup and then you also have corn syrup very different because

corn syrup is a hundred percent glucose okay whereas high produce corn syrup is

a combination so I still have not found that data but all I’m going to say is

that this has been a significant impact on obesity from my personal opinion and

we have chicken look at this beef has drop by 33% the chicken has increased by

a hundred and ten percent people are consuming more chicken because they

think it’s healthier I’m gonna put a video on chicken down below you should

check it out if you haven’t seen it chicken is definitely not very healthy

now we get to this interesting vegetable oils right which are basically seed oils

corn oil canola oil soy oil cottonseed oil they’re all GMO that is spiked 270

percent from my opinion this has created a huge problem in our guts and our

livers and inflammation in actually gaining weight in cardiovascular health

I’m gonna save this for a different video and then soy which we’re including

the soy protein isolates which is in a lot of so called keto friendly food that

is by 190 percent from these two time periods

so overall the good news is that sugar gradually is on its way out it’s never

gonna go out completely but it’s definitely declining and personally I

think it’s because of the great awareness on the ketogenic diet if you

want to check out the video on chicken meat check it out I put it right here
