Multiple studies have shown that excessive consumption of HFCS leads to a host of adverse health effects, including insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, liver and kidney problems.
Ever since the US government started taxing the import of cane sugar and subsidizing the domestic corn industry with billions of dollars every year, HFCS has made its way into virtually every type of processed food found in our grocery stores - from breads to most soft drinks.
Sign this petition to show your support for a new tax on foods and beverages containing HFCS. Such a tax would raise the cost of "junk food" that contains HFCS, force food manufacturers to start using safer sweeteners, and eventually put a stop to the obesity epidemic that started with the introduction of HFCS in the USA.
