Review of The Sugar Fix: The High-Fructose Fallout That Is Making You Fat and Sick (Paperback)

This book is a well written and quite readable fount of useful information about sugar and especially about the relatively new sweetener called high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) was developed a little more than 35 tears ago. It has one big advantage, it's the most inexpensive sugar available. But it has the disadvantage of being very unhealthy when consumed in large quantities, in which it currently is consumed because of its low cost. High fructose corn syrup can cause obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes among other ailments and all of these ailments have increased dramatically since HFCS has come to be the most popular sweetener currently in use. HFCS is used in a large number of foods not normally thought of as containing sugar -- including bread, ketchup, and baby food -- but a major source of this unhealthy sweetener in modern American diets is soft drinks and sweetened fruit drinks, which are frequently dispensed these days in super-size quantities.

Yes, fruits -- which are good for us -- contain the sugar fructose but in very small amounts, because fructose is very sweet. And humans have safely been eating fruits for a hundred thousand years or more. But high fructose corn syrup in food and soft drinks has increased the amount of fructose which Americans now consume by a much as ten times the amount our ancestors got from fruit and this unnatural increase, as this book points out, has resulted in dangerous increases in obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Please read this book and learn about the risks of this dangerous food product and how to minimize them.

Cutting back on the fructose in your diet could save your life -- and shrink your waistline. Table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) -- the primary sources of fructose -- are staples of our food supply, and are even found in foods that aren't necessarily sweet, like breads, soups, ketchup, and salad dressing. These sweeteners are linked to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and joint and abdominal pain. They may also increase your risk for liver and kidney diseases, premature aging, and certain types of cancer.
