High-Fructose Corn Syrup Causes Severe Liver Damage

Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 18 2008 | 1644 views
A diet high in HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and fat may cause severe liver problems in sedentary people with a sedentary lifestyle.

Researchers fed mice a diet high in HFCS and fat for 16 weeks. The animals in the study were allowed to eat as much as they wanted. They were also kept sedentary and prevented from exercising.

The researchers were shocked to find that took only four weeks for the first signs of serious health problems to become apparent.
