SCIENTISTS have discovered the key ingredient in food that could be driving obesity rates.<\/p>\n
Fructose \u2014 a type of sugar found in corn syrup and table sugar\u00a0 \u2014 causes people to lose control of their appetite and start piling on the pounds.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Researchers said there are a range of theories around whether fat, carbohydrates, protein or sugars are more important when looking at weight gain.<\/p>\n
However, their new research suggests fructose could be the main driver behind packing on belly fat.<\/p>\n
Dr Richard Johnson, of the University of Colorado, said: \u201cThese theories, which put a litany of dietary drivers at the centre of the obesity epidemic, are all pieces of a puzzle unified by one last piece: fructose.<\/p>\n
\u201cFructose is what triggers our metabolism to go into low power mode and lose our control of appetite, but fatty foods become the major source of calories that drive weight gain.\u201d<\/p>\n
