Dangers of HFCS – High Fructose Corn Syrup

Obesity, hypertension, diabetes — are these scourges, now at epidemic proportions, due largely to the addition of high fructose corn syrup to virtually each and every packaged and processed food item we eat? Remember that the obesity epidemic is recent — 100 years ago obesity was only at 0.5% of the population. Now 73% of the population is overweight or obese, and 34% of adults over 20 are obese.
