In the series of articles entitled Dumbing Down Society, I described the many negative effects of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) on general health. This high-powered sweetener is found in a great number of sugary processed foods such as jams, soft drinks and pre-packaged baked goods.

It is also found in other products that are not so sugary such as soups, breads, pasta sauces, cereals, frozen entrees, meat products, salad dressings and condiments. Research links HFCS to increasing rates of obesity and diabetes in North America, especially among children.

Fructose converts to fat more than any other sugar. And being a liquid, it passes much more quickly into the blood stream.

I heard high fructose corn syrup was developed by Japanese scientists.
The reason why it is being put in more foods is that it acts as a preservative.
I pretty much stay away from it and try to get my sweet source from local honey.

I do not believe that processed sugar is harmful if used in moderation. Natural sugar should phase out the white sugar though.
The hormones and pesticides that are added to our food are much worse.
