In the cold weather, drinking a sweet drink will make you feel good, but be careful of "damaging the liver"! Experts remind that many studies show that eating corn syrup regularly is harmful to the liver! In addition to drinking less sugary drinks, those who want to protect the liver should also be careful about these snacks that everyone loves to eat.
Corn syrup is high in sweetness and low in calories, but it is easy to gain weight if you eat more.
Corn syrup is higher in sweetness, lower in calories, and lower in glycemic index than general sucrose. Many people think that switching to corn syrup is less likely to gain weight, but not only A study by the American Society of Epidemiology found that corn syrup is very harmful to the liver. A study on monkeys published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this year also found that the monkeys who ate corn syrup were more than 50% overweight and had three times the risk of diabetes compared with the control group. And fatty liver also occurs.
Continuing to drink sugar-sweetened beverages for 12 days, fatty liver began to form.
When the researchers learned more about the formation of fatty liver in monkeys, 24% of the calories in one group of monkeys were replaced with corn syrup, and the other group only had 0.5%. %. After 6 weeks, the corn syrup-fed monkeys had decreased gut function, causing 30 percent of the bacteria in their guts to transfer to the liver, causing more than double the liver damage compared to the control group. In addition, at this year's American Diabetes Association, a study published by the University of California also pointed out that as long as people continue to drink beverages for 12 days, they can cause fatty liver and abnormal insulin production.
Corn syrup is catalyzed by enzymes, which is cheap and high in sweetness
Xu Huiyu, director of the nutrition team of the Dong Foundation, who has long been concerned about the healthy diet of children and Chinese people and has spared no effort in rejecting sugary drinks, said that high fruitSugar corn syrup is mostly made of genetically modified corn. Through the catalysis of enzymes, the glucose in corn starch is converted into fructose, and it will become a mixed syrup with glucose and fructose. Its sweetness is higher than that of sugar, the usage amount can be reduced, and because the production cost of catalysis is very low, it is often used by the processed food industry to replace sucrose, as an artificial sweetener, and added to produce beverages, ice cream and desserts .
Not only hand shakes, but snacks, snacks and even salty flavors are also added.
In the past, the Dong Foundation has announced that most hand shakers on the market use high fructose corn syrup, and some people who are concerned about their health have begun to drink less sugary drinks. But Xu Huiyu reminded that there are too many foods on the market that hide high fructose corn syrup, including many cakes, biscuits, and even some salty foods. To bring out the sweet taste, corn syrup is also added, and various soft drinks such as soda and soda are also available. .
In the past, the Tung Foundation investigated the dairy intake status of 12,851 schoolchildren in 50 elementary schools in the 4 districts of North, Central, South, and East Taiwan, and found that nearly 40 percent of school children drink once a day, and sugar-sweetened drinks are the most commonly consumed. The first is milk tea, the second is sugary tea, and the third is sports drinks. And most of these three contain high fructose corn syrup.
