Sugar, a seemingly harmless ingredient, may actually be the root cause of the obesity problem!according toforeign media reports, for a long time, it has been generally believed that obesity is caused by excessive intake of calories and lack of exercise. However, recent findings from scientists challenge this view, pointing out that high fructose corn syrup (High Fructose Corn Syrup, HFCS) may be the real culprit of obesity.

High Fructose Corn Syrup: A Dangerous Ingredient Hidden in Food

High-fructose corn syrup, an extremely common ingredient in American foods ranging from whole-wheat bread to candy, has long been linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Scientists have found that this sugar lowers levels of satiety hormones, prevents the body from using fat stores for energy, and slows metabolism.
The study was led by Dr. Richard Johnson of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The research team conducted a comprehensive analysis of multiple previous studies and found that high fructose corn syrup has multiple adverse effects on the human body.
The relationship between high fructose and satiety

High fructose corn syrup affects a molecule called ATP, which is needed by the body’s cells for fuel. When high fructose is metabolized by the liver, it consumes ATP, causing the body’s energy levels to drop, which in turn affects satiety. High fructose not only reduces the body’s energy levels, but also interferes with the body’s use of stored fat as a source of energy. This all leads to weight gain and increases the risk of obesity.
Reassessing the causes of obesity
This study not only challenges our traditional views on the causes of obesity, but also provides a completely new perspective on the issue. The widespread use of high-fructose corn syrup is not only an important factor in high obesity rates, but should also be of global concern. The research results have been published in the professional journal “obesity》(Obesity) on. It is hoped this study will spark more discussion about the causes and prevention of obesity, and prompt food manufacturers and consumers to rethink sugar use and intake.
