The Bitter Truth: Suggar

You probably have head that calories are just calories no matter what and that if you consume too much of it you gain weight. WRONG!
From what i have learned; calories are NOT just calories but how they work in your body.  In the US  people are getting heavier and heavier, obviously you don't have to be a genius to figure it out. But did you know that fat consumption has gone dropped. How is that?
Well, manufactures take the fat out of the products such as yogurt for example. by the way i think that 1% is stupid, but ill talk about that in another article. So now the yogurt don't taste anymore, so what do the manufacturers do? Well they add high fructose corn syrup (sugar) to bring back the flavor. If you do the math its simple really; as fat goes down and sugar goes up, people keep gaining weight which leads to obesity and disease. So as you can tell, its not the fat that is making us fat but the sugar.
Shocked? Well let me explain why sugar is making us gain weight and cause diseases.

First lets talk about Sucrose; also known as table sugar is composed of of two types of sugar which are Glucose and Fructose. Well we know that Glucose is causing a lot of diabetes. Ind the other hand Fructose is a poison and is becoming a huge problem. Now High Fructose Corn Syrup is also made up of Glucose and Fructose. Industries are now running commercial advertising how High Fructose Corn Syrup is no different than sugar. Guess what, its TRUE they are both harmful to your body. But the problem is the quantity that we are eating, its just too much! and that's why we're getting sick. What some people might argue, Fructose is not that bad for you since it comes from fruits, well that true. But again the problem is the quantity that we are all consuming every day. Fact: if you're naturally eating and getting fructose from fruits and vegetables, you're consuming 15g of fructose a day. In world war 2 the consumption was 16 to 24g a day, which was OK. But then in 1977 and 1988, a person consumed 32g a day. Which makes sense since High Fructose Corn Syrup was introduced in food supply in 1975. By 1994 54.7 grams a day was consumed daily by one person. Now today, adolescence are consuming 72.8 gr of sugar on a daily bases. Wow! no wonder 1 in 4 are obese and overweight.

So what happens when you eat 2 peaces of white bread containing 120 calories of glucose; 80% of that glucose which equal to 96 calories goes to your organs, muscle and body, being that that's what the primarily source of energy is. Well what happens to the other 20%? It goes to the liver, when it gets into the liver 24 calories turn into glucose6phosphorate which turns into glycogen and into energy. Glucose also turns into pyruvate (mitochondria) which then turns into acetylcholine and turns into something else which I don't remember exactly, but turns into energy and carbodyoxide(the air you breathe out) left over from the acetylcholine turns into citrate which get converted into VLDL (bad cholesterol which cause obesity) Now that fat that was converted, only half of a calorie is store. Well its not that bad if only .5 of a calories gets store out of 120.


Now Sucrose: for example a glass of juice containing 120 calories, half of them are glucose and half is fructose. Now 80 percent of glucose (48 calories) gets used in the body, and only 12 calories goes to the liver. What about Fructose? all 60 calories go straight into the liver living nothing for the muscles and organs, why is that? isn't the livers job to detoxify bad stuff, don't you think something is not right. So the total calorie's going to the liver is 72, more than 3 times the number of calories from glucose alone. To make it shorter, if you think about the conversion again, a lot of citrate is left unconverted which tuns into a lot of fat and a lot of VLDL (bad cholesterol that cause hart attack) Final Result, FAT

Causes of High Fructose Corn Syrup: Eventually you get lipid droplet which means fatty liver. Increase production of free fatty acids which goes into your muscles making you muscularly insolent resistant, which means your insolent levels will be high which makes you a fat storing machine. Not only that but it also make your liver insolent resistant which then your brain cant sense when you are full, which you end up eating all day and gaining weight.
You tell me , a perfect recipe for
hypertension
hart disease
obesity
insulin resistance
type 2 diabetes
fatty liver


so its a calorie just a calorie, of coarse not, its how it reacts and how our body uses and breaks it down. You have to understand that whats making us fat is not fat itself but high fructose corn syrup in other words, sugar.
