Type 2 diabetes risk soars if your diet contains this common ingredient (no, it’s not sugar)

A teaspoon of sugar may help the medicine go down, but 12 of them are a sure-fire way to need more medicine.

Yup! The average American consumes about 12 teaspoons of high fructose corn syrup daily. That’s nearly 55 pounds per year!

New evidence shows that this appears to be driving the explosion of type 2 diabetes.

Researchers compared HFCS intake and rates of type 2 in more than 40 countries. They found that type 2 diabetes is 20 percent more likely in countries that consume the highest rates of HFCS.

Unfortunately, the U.S. is the world’s largest HFCS producer and consumer.

Click here to find out how HFCS fuels another major health crisis. When combined with type 2 diabetes, this crisis suddenly looks more like a catastrophe. But you can take easy steps to avoid its impact on your health.
