High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) differs from table sugar in formation and metabolism, leading to health concerns like obesity. Unlike sucrose, HFCS's fructose goes straight to the liver, without triggering satiety, promoting overeating. A Princeton study links HFCS to rising obesity rates since the early 1990s. Furthermore, food manufacturers use deceptive labeling tactics to downplay HFCS in products. Natural sugars found in whole foods provide health benefits absent in isolated sugars, highlighting a growing desire for more authentic and wholesome food options amidst a rising health crisis.
High-fructose corn syrup is not chemically identical to table sugar and contributes to obesity by bypassing normal sugar metabolism.
The food industry has renamed high-concentration HFCS to obscure its content, allowing products to misleadingly claim they contain no HFCS.
