1146. The Bitter Side of Sweet: Unmasking High Fructose Corn Syrup
Published 3 years, 2 months ago
Description
Back in 1900, your risk of being diagnosed with any type of cancer was 1 in 30 people. By 1990, that number had jumped to 1 in 5. In 2000, the number is now 1 in 2 people will get cancer.
These statistics are quite frightening. Why has cancer surged so much in the last century? Dr. Martin attributes it to changes in our food, and particularly with the introduction of high fructose corn syrup. Cancer cells feed on sugar, and fructose provides the perfect storm for cancer to flourish.
Join Dr. Martin as he explains why the fructose in HFCS is far worse for you than regular glucose.
