New evidence shows what many already suspected: high-fructose corn syrup is even worse for you than table sugar. According to a new study out of the University of Utah, female rats had higher levels of mortality and lower levels of pregnancy when 25 percent of their daily caloric intake came from fructose and glucose, the common ingredients in high-fructose corn syrup. This illustrates the danger of high-fructose corn syrup, especially to women. Right now, Americans on average get 15 percent of their daily caloric intake from sugar. One major reason for the high levels of high-fructose corn syrup in the average American\u2019s diet is due to the USDA. The USDA prioritizes corn and beet farmers by providing them with greater subsidies than farmers growing healthier options. This makes high-fructose corn syrup and junk food cheaper and more available. This may make it hard to avoid junk food, but by replacing processed foods with whole foods, you can reduce your chances of getting Alzheimer\u2019s, diabetes, cancer, and other life-threatening diseases.<\/p>\n
