Q. What's all the hype about high fructose corn syrup? Isn't it just another sugar?
HFCS is found in corn that's why it is called: High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Here in America, an abundant amount of corn was produced especially when the demand went up for using cost-effective sugar (which is widely used in the food industry). HFCS was then created, converting glucose with fructose and eventually replacing table sugar with HFCS. Both fructose and glucose are monosaccharides and so the issue about HFCS contributing to obesity more than table sugar is flawed.
Taken from Foodpicker.org:
A recent study from Princeton University found that rats given HFCS gained significantly more weight compared to rats given table sugar even though the amount of calories consumed were the same.
Contradicting, should humans be compared to rats? They don't have the same "blood volume" do they?
