WE WOULD LIKE ALL COMPANIES TO BE REQUIRED TO TAKE ALL HFCS OUT OF THEIR PRODUCTS IMMEDIATELY. Health Cons
In 2010, researchers at Princeton University found that long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup can lead to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in cholesterol. In one study, rats given water sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup gained much more weight than rats that drank water sweetened with table sugar. In another study, rats given a diet high in high-fructose corn syrup gained 48 percent more weight over six months than rats given only regular rat chow. The rats that consumed high-fructose corn syrup also developed high levels of triglycerides, which leads to increased cholesterol and possibly heart disease.
