Not only does it contribute to our obesity epidemic, but it has also been linked to:<\/p>\n<p>Pancreas dysfunction, diabetes and insulin resistance<br \/>\nHigh cholesterol and heart disease<br \/>\nCancer<br \/>\nHigh blood pressure<br \/>\nAnemia<br \/>\nLiver damage<br \/>\nInfertility<br \/>\nAnd more<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the average consumption of fructose has doubled between 1980 and 1994. Soft drinks and some fruit drinks are a major source of HFCS, but it is also found in many other products, from crackers to salad dressing.<\/p>\n<p>Fructose contains zero enzymes, vitamins or minerals and it leeches micronutrients from your body.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it found in so many products? Because, after air, water, and salt, it&#8217;s the cheapest ingredient in the American food chain (and we know how the food industry likes to save money)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also urge you to  be on the lookout for HFCS in its many disguises conveniently (for the food industry) labeled as chicory, inulin, iso glucose, glucose-fructose syrup, fruit fructose, and others.<\/p>\n<p>Another major health torpedo you want to watch out for is:<\/p>\n<p>HEALTH BOMB #2: Gluten Wheat (and other grains containing gluten) is NOT your friend. My experience has shown that you could well be one of the estimated 1 in 10 people who have at least a subclinical intolerance to gluten protein. This is actually a food allergy.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend avoiding gluten, even the organic whole-grain types.<\/p>\n<p>Gluten intolerance has been linked to miscarriage, autism, intestinal disease (including irritable bowel syndrome), malnutrition, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and developmental delay in children, just to name a few. Oftentimes, your gluten sensitivity may present with various unexplained symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Getting rid of these two health bombs will go a long way toward improving your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe 2 Health Bombs to Avoid By Dr. Joseph Mercola HEALTH BOMB #1: High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has become a modern-day plague.
