HFCS

High-Fructose Corn Syrup has replaced sucrose(table sugar) in the States. It is the primary sweetener and used in such things as bread,cereals, breakfast bars yoghurts and soft drinks. There is much consternation about the extent of its usage and claims that it helps increase weight loss and tooth decay. It has become prevalent because of corn subsidies and higher import tax on foreign sugars. The truth is that research is still ongoing and in fact they do not know what this stuff will do to you long term. So guess who are the Guinea pigs! Best advice is to not touch it and stay away from all sugars in general. You know it makes sense!
