• Biochemically, its almost the same as table sugar<\/strong>
  The American Medical Association has concluded that HFCS isnt any worse for you than other caloric sweeteners. The 55:45 ratio of fructose to glucose in HFCS is almost the same as the ratio in table sugar and honey—50:50. HFCS has 4 calories per gram, just like table sugar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  • Blame calories for weight gain<\/strong>
    All sugars have calories. And all sugars may be metabolized by the body as fat instead of energy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n
    • Cut back on sweets, period<\/strong>
      People who eat lots of sugary foods and drinks of any kind tend to be heavier. The average American consumes about 60 pounds each of sugar and HFCS a year. That leaves plenty of room for us to cut down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Takeaway:<\/strong>
      For the sake of your health, limit all added sweeteners, including sugar and HFCS. Try not to get more than 40 grams (about 10 teaspoons) of added sugars daily. Got a sweet tooth? Opt for fruit, a natural sugar source high in key nutrients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
