Scary Week?
This is the day before Halloween! Tomorrow we will be seeing little witches and ghosts running up and down the streets again. It will be a fun filled night of excitement, and it brings back great childhood memories of filling my belly with sweets. But the real scary thing is what all the high-fructose corn syrup and corn sugar is going to do to your kids.
One day I went to the store with my granddaughter and her friend to pick up something for
dinner. She asked, “Can I get something?” As a good grandfather I told her she could get anything
she wants as long as it doesn’t have corn syrup in it. She went up and down the aisles looking for a
treat with no corn syrup. She said to me, “Everything has high fructose corn syrup in it! Why is that?” I let her know it is the cheapest sweetener that can be made, and food manufacturers do not care about your health, they care about their pockets!
Here is the bitter truth. Reports now show how high-fructose corn syrup/corn sugar will worsen your health and its everywhere! High Fructose corn sweetener is setting the stage for some serious problems.
• Metabolic syndrome
• Damage to your immune system.
• Speeds up aging process.
• A load of dangerous mercury poisons and a lot more.
If you think that’s spooky; according to the Mayo Clinic it has been linked to obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. In addition, corn syrup may have an effect on your child’s behavior, for instance, hyperactivity, behavior changes and of course allergies. But don’t let this take the fun out of a great American tradition. Make sure that you have something to give the little spirits who are visiting you. I have a friend that gives out little toys like glow sticks, plastic eyeballs, and rings with a pumpkins glow. Feed your kids healthy stuff and perhaps you can avoid problems at a later date.
I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness!
