Our average daily high fructose corn syrup intake is shocking — and dangerous

A teaspoon of sugar may help the medicine go down, but 12 teaspoons per day just about guarantees you’ll need more medicine.

And that’s exactly what’s happening coast to coast.

The average American consumes about 12 teaspoons of HFCS 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.

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

Unfortunately, HFCS fuels another major health crisis. And when that one is combined with type 2 diabetes, it looks more like a catastrophe. Click here to find out how you can take easy steps to avoid HFCS’s overwhelming impact on your health.
