TAKE IT SLOW – 

Dec. 28, 2022 – Silent killer. A 2008 study found that excess fructose consumption was linked to an increase in the odds of acquiring a condition called leptin resistance. Leptin is a hormone that tells the brain that you are full. Imagine eating a big meal but never experiencing a sense of fullness. No leptin signal translates into consuming extra calories, which in turn means excess weight gain. Why is sugar called a “silent killer?” Because its negative side effects occur without symptoms or warning bells. If you’ve gained weight in the past year and can’t quite figure out why, perhaps you should look at how much fructose you’re consuming.
