When everything from pickles to pepsi contains HFC no one has to force feed you to get fat. The HFCs do the job without you even knowing it. Just check the ingredients on almost any jar, package or container and one of the first items will be High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Sorry for the misspell word lectin should be leptin that is what I heard off the video lectin it is leptin
It is amazing to post something that has good information in it and our media has so condition us with certain buzz word to give of knee jerk reaction and never go beyond that it is all shut down and the nation remains clueless as to what is happening to their nation, their wallet and our health.
Same with Isolate Soy and oils which are negative for our bodies and Saturated fats were our friend to have good brain to use to vote with common sense!
Many aren’t even aware that HFCS lacks leptin therefore the brain is never satisfied enough to tell folks when to stop!
Leptin and the Genetic Effects of High Fructose Corn Syrup
written by: Jason C. Chavis•edited by: Paul Arnold•updated: 6/17/2010
Science is beginning to discover that high fructose corn syrup may have negative effects on the human protein leptin. Too much HFCS can lead to a condition known as leptin resistance, which prevents the human brain from properly controlling hunger. Leptin resistance is associated with weight gain.
High fructose corn syrup is one of the primary sweeteners used in modern foods. Since 1967, utilization of the sugar alternative increased dramatically in a variety of products, most notably soft drinks such as soda and fruit juices. Figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that Americans in the early 21st century consume an average of 132 calories of the product per day. A 2004 article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition identified a consumption level of over 300 calories in 20 percent of the population.
High fructose corn syrup is a product of cornstarch, combining high levels of glucose and up to 90 percent fructose. The National Center for Biotechnology Information showed in a 1981 report that a high level of fructose raises both blood sugar and insulin in humans. Both of these factors play important roles in the regulation of hunger.
