Sugar is everywhere in foods where we least suspect it, including breads, yogurt, peanut butter and sauces. Sugar consumption is down 40% since the 1970s but high fructose corn syrup consumption is way up. Kimber Stanhope, a nutrional biologist at the University of California Davis, believes that a calorie isn’t just a calorie and that overconsumption of high-fructose corn syrup increases risk for heart attack and stroke. According to her research, when a person consumes too much sugary food and drink, the liver begins to convert some of that fructose to fat. This fat can lead to an increase in dangerous LDL cholesterol that can form plaque in the arteries. Too much sugar is also linked to many kinds of cancers, including breast and colon cancer.
