As most of you know High Fructose Corn Syrup has so many negative side effects that it would take up this whole blog (it tracks your body into thinking its still hugnry, increased chance of obesity, etc).
One of the reasons I LOVE Jillian Michaels is that she stands up for what she believes in – even if it means biting the hand that feeds. If you are a viewer of the Biggest Loser, you know that “it just so happens” that the contestants happen to be walking by a Subway Restaurant on a regular basis. Well it turns out that Subway uses High Fructose Corn Syrup in their bread. Uh Oh…
Here is what Jillian had to say according to her facebook page:
“Had NO idea Subway had HFC in their bread til you guys pointed it out. Subway is a sponsor of BL. We’re obligated to do show integrations per NBC contract. We’re not paid for them. However, I only do the ones I eat personally. Subway is good alternative to other fast food. I eat the veggie 1 all the time but, the HFC is a bummer. I told em if they take it out of their bread I’ll do a commercial for free. We’ll see.”
Here is what else she said from her facebook page:
“HFC is NOT like sugar. HFC is CORN & sugar is sugar cane. Totally seperate plants. They are two very different forms of sugar, which are metabolised very differently by the body. That’s why HFC is the culprit for so many different illnesses. But HFC is in everything cause corn is subsidized by government.”
Another scary health risk linked to hfc. And dont be fooled, this is not happening from the natural fructose in fruit. http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/562338
Jillian rocks. She does not back down, and is not afraid to say something is wrong when it’s wrong. She should run for public office.
