Outlaw the use of High Fructose corn syrup in food as a sweetener! We now have scientific proof it leads to overeating!

Created by M.F. on January 02, 2013

High Fructose corn syrup has replaced the sweetner component in almost every food sold in America. This is not allowed in most other countries. For example, in most countries soda companies like coca cola is REQUIRED to sweeten there drinks with cane sugar only. This used to be the case in the US. Scientists have long suspected that our bodies process these sugars differently. It has now been shown that this is not just a suspicion but a fact. Doctors have proven that when the body utilizes fructose instead of glucose the "full" trigger in our brain is not turned on. this has lead to bigger portions and overeating. The reason most people felt like this is because it is exactly what is happening. We must outlaw high fructose corn syrup! Go back to getting our sugar from cane from Hawaii!
