Begin to keep track of how much Fructose has been added to the food you eat.
Fructose is a “brain changing drug”
as well as a source of calories for energy.
Glucose, (starch) Maltose (beer) and Lactose (milk) do not have the powerful brain changing property that Fructose has.
“An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away”
A medium sized apple has about 10 grams of Fructose. (apples also have fiber that affects your gut health)
Try staying below 30 grams of Fructose per day.
More than half of the people in the USA are consuming more than 200 grams of Fructose per day.
About 1 in 5 people consume more than 400 grams of Fructose per day.
RANT ON -
Don't buy anything containing "High Fructose Corn Syrup" - truly poisoning the food we eat
And I try to eliminate any kind of added sugar - sugar = Glucose+Fructose - but no fiber to help your body properly absorb the Fructose!
Also I never drink fruit juices - they have all the sugar (again lots of Fructose) - but all the fiber is destroyed
- RANT OFF
