How to Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup

Instructions

• 1

  Eat organic food
  
  Since almost every processed food product contains high fructose corn syrup, you need to avoid them if you want to limit your intake . Instead add more and more organic food items to your daily diet. Organic foods contain natural sugar that the human body can easily digest as compared to HFCS.

  Eat more fruits and vegetables
  
  Fresh fruits and vegetables are a rich source of natural sugar. By adding more and more fruits and vegetables to your diet plan you will not only limit the intake of HFCS but will also get the energy that sugar provides without any harmful side effects.

  Eat less fast food
  
  Limit your fast food intake. Fast food restaurants use high amounts of HFCS  in their food to add flavour. The syrup's use is not limited to sweet food items, even foods that do not taste sweet, like bread and ketchup, contain this ingredient in large amounts.

  Stop drinking soda and other soft drinks
  
  If you want to limit intake of high fructose corn syrup, avoid canned or bottled drinks. Nearly all varieties of artificial drinks contain HFCS and are generally unhealthy if consumed regularly.

  Buy fresh products and cook them at home
  
  One of the main reasons behind growing obesity and other health related issues is the increasing reliance on processed food. Always try to buy fresh products and learn to cook your food at home using low fat.
  
  As opposed to snacking on processed treats, keep a supply of apples, carrots and celery in the refrigerator. For your convenience, cut up fruits and vegetables before hand so can conveniently eat them when you feel hungry.
