| High fructose corn syrup is in many diet sodas |
There have been many reports on the effects high fructose
corn syrup has on our bodies and health. Some good and some bad. Health Briefs TV reports on how to limit it in your diet.
High fructose corn syrup can be found in many food and beverages.
From tomato ketchup, frozen treats and diet soda, it seems it is in most of the
things we consume. Despite the recent medical finding that it can increase the
risk for heart disease, there are steps we can take to limit the amount of high
fructose corn syrup in our daily diets.
Avoid drinking diet soda or sugar-free drinks every day.
These drinks have a higher amount of fructose corn syrup than other beverages
such as iced tea or water.
Make homemade ice treats by freezing natural fruit juices in
molds with popsicle sticks. They are easy and taste better than the store
bought kind. If this is not convenient, read the nutritional info on the box
and buy ones with a lower amount of high fructose corn syrup.
Avoid eating fast food which can contain a larger amount of
high fructose corn syrup.
Skip condiments that have high fructose corn syrup in it.
The Health Briefs TV show suggests reading food labels and
sticking to organic condiments which tend to not contain high fructose corn
syrup. To find more food and beverage products
