HFCS ads ignore evidence

September 19, 2011 by towers

The ads claiming high fructose corn syrup is as natural as sugar are misleading.  The US corn industry is on the defensive because the word is out–high fructose corn syrup is not handled the same way by the body as glucose, it does cause greater weight gain and it is associated with metabolic syndrome.  While it is true that Americans eat too many calories from concentrated sugars and starches, metabolically fructose is more problematic than sucrose.   It can hardly be called “natural” either because to change  corn starch to high fructose corn syrup requires chemical processing.  See greenmedinfo.com and search “high fructose corn syrup” for the latest research and for more information.
