Sugar Fix : The High-Fructose Fallout That Is Making You Fat and Sick

Learn potentially life-saving facts about fructose and high-fructose corn syrup in this comprehensive guide to hidden sugars and healthy eating habits.

Cutting back on the fructose in your diet could save your life—and shrink your waistline. Table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—the primary sources of fructose—are staples of our food supply and are even found in foods that aren’t necessarily sweet, like breads, soups, ketchup, and salad dressing.

These sweeteners are linked to health issues including obesity, diabetes, and joint and abdominal pain. They may also increase your risk for liver and kidney diseases, metabolic syndrome, premature aging, and certain types of cancer. Reducing your intake supports healthy living and long-term wellness.
