In today's episode, I'm talking about corn syrup and its link to inflammation. Corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup solids are commonly used as a sugar-based sweetener in ultra processed foods and baby formula.

Countless studies show that corn syrup drives inflammation and the hyper formation of advanced glycation end products. Corn syrup consumption even in the short term can promote neuroinflammation and alter the brain's ability to defuse oxidative stress. 

The beauty of all this, is that nobody has to consume corn syrup. You can choose pure maple syrup, you can bring your own ketchup free of corn syrup to the restaurant (have countless friends who do this), you can pass on the Gatorade, you can drink Zevia or carbonated water instead of Dr. Pepper, you can choose baby formulas without corn syrup solids like the Mt Capra goat milk recipe.
