The High Fructose Corn Syrup Controversy

Filed under :Junk foods, Making healthier choices

Whats All the Hype About?

Argument 1: Increased usage of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in products is correlated with the increase in obesity. Argument 2: HFCS is natural; it has the same ingredients as table sugar and is fine in moderation. (What to do.)

Your best bet? Whole foods are always the best option. So whenever possible, choose a whole food (such as fruits, veggies, nuts) over a product with HFCS.

HFCS is found in soft drinks, yogurts, breads and many other foods and drinks. How do you avoid it? Read food labels, always drink 100% fruit juice and plan your meals ahead of time.
