After my six-way heart bypass operation in 1990 my wife and I opened the Vital Life Center, a fitness club for the "over 40 crowd.
At the time high fructose corn syrup dangers were not widely recognized.
In the "olden days" when I was growing up, the sweeteners of choice were sugar or honey. In these modern times food manufacturers almost exclusively use high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), and crystalline fructose to satisfy the public's desire for sweetness.
One of the key high fructose corn syrup dangers is that these chemically altered, artificial sweeteners have natural sounding names such as "fructose" and "crystalline fructose", but when it comes to actually being heart healthy, they fail the test miserably.
They raise triglycerides, which increases risk of heart disease and robs your body of critical nutrients, enzymes and antioxidants.
These tasty, sugary liquids travel directly to the liver which converts them to body fat within 60 minutes of eating.
You may not be pleased to learn the sad truth about these sweeteners commonly used in soft drinks and thousands of packaged foods. You will find them in all the name brand soft drinks, including Coca Cola's Vitamin Water.
High fructose corn syrup is the sugar substitutes of choice by food processors in so called heart healthy foods and drinks, such as Ocean Spray cranberry cocktail, Yoplait Yogurt and brand name energy bars and salad dressings.
"High fructose corn syrup literally floods your bloodstream, overwhelming your liver's processing capacity. This can lead to liver damage not unlike the kind that afflicts alcoholics."
Consider these little-known crystalline fructose and high fructose corn syrup facts that you won't find on the maufacturer's food labels:
Researchers have shown that high fructose corn syrup, unlike sucrose (sugar), fails to prompt the production of the hormones that help us regulate appetite and fat storage. This sets the stage for adding body fat to unwanted places.
Since HFCS and it's healthy sounding cousin, crystalline fructose are in practically everything we love it's very difficult to avoid it completely.
And if are waiting for the food industry to help you eat healthier foods and lose weight I'm afraid you will be waiting for a long, long time.
Even if you eliminated HFCS from your diet, it wouldn't repair the damage that has already been done. There's another step you have to take first.

People often think that special "belly fat exercises" will melt away the fat. It's not quite that simple.
New research about how our body works has revealed how we can supercharge our sluggish metabolism and win the belly fat battle of the bulge.
And the good news is that you dont have to give up all of your favorite foods, count calories or spend hours in the fitness center.
You may, however, have to unlearn a few things you thought you knew about eating exercise and weight loss.
After 20 years in the fitness business (and even writing a book titled Fresh Start Weight Loss for Life I pretty much thought I had this all figured out.
I discovered there was more to learn.
Dr. Charles, a Certified Wellness Practioner in Indiana, has developed a comprehensive How To Lose Body Fat Program, that he calls The Fat Factor.
I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I first heard about it, but as I learned more I was surprised by his examination of all of the key factors to lose belly fat quickly and naturally.
