Sweet taste, terrible truth
If you like hand shake drinks, you should read this article
Most of the sugar in the drinks we drink is fructose, which is a simple sugar that can be absorbed directly by the body. Fructose is actually "high fructose corn syrup." Most of it is made from genetically modified corn through the catalysis of enzymes, which converts part of the glucose in corn starch into fructose, forming a mixed syrup of glucose and fructose. Because the cost is very low and the sweetness is higher than sucrose, it is often used by the food processing industry to replace higher-priced sucrose.
Almost all the foods we eat use this sweetener to replace sugar, such as all sugary drinks, baked goods, snacks, ice cream, and even cooking seasonings, ketchup, mayonnaise, etc. Almost any processed food you can think of contains high fructose corn syrup. Because of its presence, it not only leads to a strong appetite and increases the chance of obesity, but also causes the body to produce more uric acid, which can cause gout. It can also affect the metabolism of sugar in the body, leading to fatty liver disease. The result of regular consumption of high fructose corn syrup is a surge in type 2 diabetes, and the numbers are staggering!
With the rise of health awareness, more and more people have the concept of "lowering sugar intake". So, how to avoid these ubiquitous harmful substances? Very simple! Just follow the original eating habits, reject all processed foods, and only eat natural prototype foods. Just doing this can reduce the risk of obesity and disease!
