1202. The High Fructose Corn Syrup Dilemma: How It Affects Vitamin D

Research is showing that high fructose corn syrup can cause a double whammo when it comes to declining levels of vitamin D in our bodies. To break down fructose, the body produces an enzyme which in turn breaks down vitamin D, and this enzyme also weakens the other enzymes needed to create vitamin D. Dr. Martin says no matter how you look at it, consumption of high fructose corn syrup will negatively affect your levels of vitamin D. It’s no wonder that deficiency of vitamin D is now associated with all-cause mortality! Join Dr. Martin in today’s episode to learn the significance of this new research.
