Changing To A Raw Food Diet

The Americans are said to be overfed and undernourished, but is that what contributes to our obesity epidemic? The "challenge" calories This is really just empty?

There was the case of a man who sued McDonald's because of his obesity. Comedian Bill Maher said: "The guy was surprised to get fat eating fat fried in fat, but all jokes aside, America's weight problem has less to do with the fat of the that has to do with sweeteners. Especially in low-cost version derived from corn in a laboratory: syrup, high fructose corn (HFCS).

Cultivation corn industry has recently spent a small fortune in television commercials (commercial) trying to convince us that the HFC is no different than sugar. Despite having a point in regard to food flavors sweeteners, which is where the similarities end.

It has been said that a tender sweet desert at the end a meal signals the brain to the end of the meal, to satisfy the desire to eat. This may be true of a desert made with standard sugar cane derivative or beet sugar, HFCS, but does the opposite. Critics chemicals inhibit release in the brain, fooling the brain into thinking that satiety is not in sight, and tells us to keep eating.

Unlike regular sugar, HFCS does not stimulate insulin secretion or enhance leptin production, the two key processes in regulating appetite and fat storage. However, HFCS stimulate the formation of triglycerides, which inhibit the release of leptin. And it is the fault that prevents leptin signaling in the brain that tells us we're full. Triacylglcerols also been linked to heart disease in If I needed another reason to avoid HFCS.

So what happens to all this potential energy (calories) in the form of HFCS that only entered his body? In the middle of running a marathon? "Do not worry. These calories are a necessity and will not be used as storage. For everyone else, is preparing to pour on the pounds. Energy storage is written in the body FAT.

And we all know very well that excess fat is bad for your heart, your immunity system, increases your chance of getting diabetes, cancer, degenerative diseases, and just be alone.

There was even a USDA study comparing regular diets sugar (glucose) and high fructose (HFCS as) to rats. Female rats could not reproduce and the males fared much worse, not mature at the age adult and enlarged hearts that grew until it broke-up (hypertrophy). Their reproductive organs are underdeveloped, who were anemic and had high cholesterol. Because HFCs fructose can not be metabolized normally in normal cells must be metabolized in the liver and liver of the rats in this group appeared to have severe alcoholism for years.

But we Americans also love our carbs, and body converts carbohydrates into sugar as well. So, once again, without immediate needs of high energy, these calories are converted into fat stores. Calories combined with lack of exercise and 3-letter word is ugly again.

Processed foods, soft drinks, bake food, cereals and literally 25% of the products on supermarket shelves have HFCS, which explains why Americans consume about 60 pounds of material each year.

Thanks to Coca Cola in 1980, experimented with replacing sugar with HFCS and found no one noticed the difference. Everything went downhill from there.
