  1. High Fructose Corn Syrup: Guilty or Innocent?

  2. Artificial Sweetener? What’s the Harm? Numbers and Figures High Fructose Corn syrup or HFCS

  3. HFCS Definition • According to Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, HFCS is: a sweetener made by processing corn syrup to increase the level of fructose, usually to between 42% and 55% of the total sugar, with the balance being glucose. It is used extensively as a sweetener in processed foods and soft drinks, particularly soda and baked goods, but it is included also in many foods not normally thought of as sweet foods.

  4. Artificial Sweetener?HFCS is engineered from corn.

  5. What’s the Harm? • “Cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup are indeed both harmful when consumed in pharmacologic doses of 140 pounds per person per year. When one 20 ounce HFCS sweetened soda, sports drink, or tea has 17 teaspoons of sugar (and the average teenager often consumes two drinks a day) we are conducting a largely uncontrolled experiment on the human species.” –Dr. Mark Hyman, functional medicine leading specialist.

  6. Numbers and Figures This was an anonymous study done online, showing concern or lack of concern in adults.

  7. Numbers and Figures Former New York Mayor Bloomberg has tried using politics to combat child obesity rates in NY, potentially from HFCS. His ounce limitation on soda was an answer to the 40% obesity rate in the state.
