nutrition questions about high fructose corn syrup not contributing to obesity
In recent years, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been blamed for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in the U.S. It is present in many foods, including those we would expect to find it in, such as candy, to those unexpected, including salad dressing.
In this assignment, you are addressing the “con” side of this argument. The “con” side will make a case that HFCS has not contributed to the increased body weight of Americans. In addition to your case argument, consider and argue why Americans may or may not choose foods with HFCS, including cost, effect on nutritional status, and what other nutrients may be provided in foods that typically contain HFCS.
