I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

High Fructose Consumption Increases Blood Pressure

New US research has found that high fructose consumption is connected with high bloods pressure and hypertension. The study consisted of 4500 participants who had no history of hypertension has found that daily fructose consumption of 74g or more (equivalent to about 2.5 12-ounce cans of sugary soda) was independently associated with a 28% increased risk for blood pressure of 135/85 mm Hg or higher, a 36% increased risk for blood pressure of140/90 mm Hg or higher, and an 87% increased risk for blood pressure of 160/100 mm Hg or higher (A normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mmHg.).

Fructose is a sugar found in fruits, vegetables, honey, sugar, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). However, in this study, only candy, bakery products, soft drinks, and fruit juice were measured due to whole fruits having high contents of ascorbate, potassium, and antioxidants that can counter the effects of fructose.

In the United States, soft drinks alone account for 33-40% of fructose consumption. This high percentage might be another factor in the increasing cases of obesity and diabetes.
