This Hidden Food Ingredient Is Poisoning Your Health High fructose corn syrup is hidden in many everyday foods, from sodas and condiments to bread, granola bars, and salad dressings. In this episode, Annette explains why this processed sweetener is not the same as the natural foods God created, and why families need to pay closer attention to food labels. What High Fructose Corn Syrup Really Is High fructose corn syrup is a processed sweetener made from cornstarch. It became popular because it was cheap, easy to use, and highly sweet, but Annette explains that it was designed more for profit than for health. Unlike honey, dates, fruit, or other natural sweet foods, high fructose corn syrup has been stripped of nourishment and turned into something the body does not handle well. How It Affects the Body Annette shares how high fructose corn syrup can affect the liver, blood sugar, hunger hormones, cravings, and brain chemistry. It can push the body toward fatty liver, insulin resistance, weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and stronger sugar cravings. She also warns that children may be affected without obvious signs at first, which is why parents need to be mindful of hidden sugars in drinks, cereals, snacks, and processed foods. The Hidden Names on Labels Food companies may not always list high fructose corn syrup in obvious ways. It can show up under names like maize syrup, glucose fructose syrup, isoglucose, tapioca syrup, crystalline fructose, corn sugar, fructose syrup, or natural sweetener. Annette reminds listeners that God-made foods do not need marketing tricks. Simple, whole foods are easier to trust because they are honest and nourishing. Choose Better Sweet Options Instead of processed sweeteners, Annette recommends biblical and natural options like date syrup, raw honey, dates, figs, fresh fruit, sweet potatoes, and carrots. These foods provide sweetness with nutrients, fiber, and more support for the body. Protect Your Body with Wisdom This episode is a reminder that every bite can either build the body up or break it down. Avoiding high fructose corn syrup is not about fear, but about wisdom, stewardship, and honoring the body God gave you. When you choose foods God called good, you give your body a better chance to heal, stay strong, and thrive. == Did this episode bless you?
