High fructose corn syrup is the culprit.
You got it!
.....and ALL preservatives and additives in our food supply. WHOLE FOODS are the way to go...and that includes 100% fruit juices. I’m the living proof....down 40 lbs since May eating all the WHOLE FOODS I want until full. It’s been amazing.
Sitting on our butts is the problem. You can consume nothing but dry salad and water but if the couch is where you live your life you’ll get fat. HFCS might not be the healthiest thing on the planet, but in the end it’s just calories, burn em and be thin.
eh I don’t think HFCS is in natural juice....at least not what I buy.
Not sure that HFCS is the culprit—it has been in our food supply for 40 years. Kids may be drinking more products that contain it, but then perhaps they are not drinking water, koolaid, lemonade, and milk—staples of kids diets even in the 80s. IMHO, many kids are not getting exercise is—many don’t work after school, many don’t play around neighborhoods—gotta stay in A/C in summer, heat in winter. My neighborhood looks like a ghost town in the summer. Not so when I was young—everyone was outside running around—house to house.
Many kids today sit in front of TV or computer as soon as get home from school. I know I sound like I belong on porch in rocking chair, but when I was young, there were no computers, VCRs, and there was not 24 hour TV programming—children’s programming, like all programming, was very limited by today’s standards. From what I have seen, I blame it on consumption of large amounts of junk food (high fat) and lack of exercise.
