HAVE ALL FOOD COMPANIES TO TAKE OUT HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP OUT OF THEIR PRODUCTS FOR GOOD.

Created by J.C. on November 28, 2012

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.
