a cause of Obesity?

Health Has become a growing concern in the last decade Is displayed everywhere: newspapers, magazines, and television Constant debates over what is healthy and what is not; and these ideas seem to constantly change. So how do you know which was is the healthy way? RESEACH IT!

Topic of Choice High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) vs Natural Cane Suger I believe that HFCS is not the healthy option, and that it is aiding to the causation of obesity in our society.

HFCS vs Cane Sugar Cane Sugar HFCS Naturally produced from sugar cane. Sugar Cane plants have nutrients and benefits The most common sweetener used across the world Lab created from corn. Corn has very little nutritional value. Only used in the United States, is illegal is every other country.

High Fructose Corn Syrup The website defines HFCS as “composed of either 42 percent or 55 percent fructose, with the remaining sugars being primarily glucose and higher sugars”. Commerical Link: Commerical Link: Fructose does not create insulin secretion or increase to production of leptons. “Because insulin and lepton act as key afferent signals in the regulation of food intake and body weight, this suggests that dietary fructose may contribute to increased energy intake and weight gain.”(Bray, Nielson, Popkin)

Survey I conducted a survey of 25 people acquiring their opinion of HFCS compared to Natural Cane Sugar. The results showed that a high percentage of people preferred natural sugar to HFCS. Not only did they prefer natural sugar, 80% believed that HFCS was aiding in the causation of obesity.

Result? Due to a higher demand of more natural sweeteners companies such as Pepsi, Hunts, and Wheat Tins have started producing products made with Cane Sugar. Hopefully these companies will set an example, and spark a common theme that other companies catch onto. Pepsi released their “throwback” beverage which is made with Cane Sugar.

Major Figures such as Michelle Obama, have started to take action and give speeches relating to the negative effects of HFCS.

Reaction The manufactures of HFCS have no completely ignored the decline in demand of HFCS. They feel that using the term “syrup” in their product is the causation of the negative feeling associated with HFCS Their solution? CHANGE THE NAME! The name would be change to Corn Sugar. However, I found no source in which these manufactures actually addressed the health concerns.

Conclusion There is a growing concern of the obesity rate in America. As a response, more and more companies are beginning to switch over to making products that contain natural sweeteners. HFCS manufactures, instead of addressing the problems are undermining the intelligance of society by simply suggesting a name change to calm the negative view of their product.

Know the Facts As a society, we should be concerned of this growing obesity rate and began to take action against it. What is the best way to know what is healthy? RESEACH IT! When it comes to your health and body, it is your problem, and you have every right to know the truth!
