Studies have shown this for years and those on high sugar diets tend to have 32% higher triglycerides when consuming processed foods. 

 

What happens is your body can’t metabolize all this HFCS and sugar consumed in processed foods as fast as you eat it.  So your liver puts some of the foods glucose and HFCS into your bloodstream to be used for energy.  The rest of it is stored for later use. 

 

The problem is if your liver’s tank is full it will store these sugars as excess triglycerides.  Your liver can store about 90-100 grams of glycogen, so it converts the excess to fat or triglycerides. 

 

When you maintain a healthy weight or follow healthy weight loss you can keep your triglyceride level in check.  If you are overweight or are gaining weight your triglycerides will start to accumulate and become a key predictor of heart disease or strokes. 

 

If you are overweight or gaining weight here is what you need to do.  Lay off the sugary and starchy foods as well as the sugared drinks.  Make sure you are exercising at a higher intensity for 5 days a week.  Your body wasn’t built to handle all that sugar and you need to make sure you are burning enough calories to use what you do eat for energy and not have excess sugars left over to be stored as fat.
