High Blood Pressure Linked to High Fructose Consumption

High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener used in many processed foods. Making a habit of checking the ingredients in the the foods that you eat is a great way to monitor your fructose consumption. This sweetener has been found to cause many possible undesirable side effects, and now we can add high blood pressure to that list. The study authors concluded that "These results indicate that high fructose intake in the form of added sugars is significantly and independently associated with higher blood pressure levels in the US adult population with no previous history of hypertension."
