(6,150 posts)I am well aware of the dangers of high fructose corn syrup, GMO foods, and artificial coloring, sweetening, and other ingredients prolific in today's food.
People would argue that our bodies don't know the difference between high fructose corn syrup and natural sugars. I would say that is true, BUT that is the problem.
The body tries to process them like regular sugars, with disasterous results.
They reek havoc in the colon.
Really bad for you!
Sometimes disguised as just corn syrup, they are manufactured compounds that don't occur in nature.
Our bodies spent thousands of years learning how to process natural foods.
It would take thousands more to learn how to handle these unnatural, man-made chemicals.
We don't have the luxury of time.
It poisons us now.
