High-Fructose Corn Syrup Not That Sweet

The production of high-fructose corn syrup has many negative effects on the body, and on the environment. High-fructose corn syrup was introduced into the food market in the late 1970’s, as an effort to save money (Hand). Although high-fructose corn syrup extends the shelf life of processed foods, and is much cheaper than other, natural sweeteners, it isn’t worth including it in people’s diets when there are other alternatives (Zeratsky). Natural sweeteners are healthier, and they are eco-friendly, unlike HFCS. The production of high-fructose corn syrup should be banned, because much more than our health is at stake.
High-fructose corn syrup is very unhealthy. It leads to many things, such as diabetes, and obesity. HFCS is much worse for you than natural sweeteners are. Yet, most people take in more high-fructose corn syrup than any other sweetener. The average person takes in seventy-eight pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year; this is extremely unhealthy (Hopkins). When HFCS is digested, it foes directly to the liver, which releases enzymes that make the body store fat. This makes triglyceride and cholesterol levels rise. HFCS causes weight gain, because it slows down the fat-burning process. Also, it doesn’t stimulate insulin production. This usually allows a person to feel full, however, since it is not stimulated, it often causes people to overeat. Almost all products made with high-fructose corn syrup are high in calories, and low in nutritional value (Zeratsky). These foods cause people to become diabetic, which in turn, cause conditions like type two diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease (Zeratsky). Also, almost half of commercial high-fructose corn syrup contains mercury. This is just one more reason why you shouldn’t consume products that contain HFCS.
High-fructose corn syrup also has a terrible effect on the environment. When land is used solely for growing corn, it depletes soil nutrients, requiring more pesticides and fertilizers while weakening topsoil (Hartman). High-fructose corn syrup has created major problems in the Gulf of Mexico. There is an area, called the dead-zone, where virtually nothing will live because it has been starved of oxygen by the fertilizer runoff coming down the Mississippi River from the corn belt (Hartman). The production of high-fructose corn syrup is extremely hazardous to our planet, and should be banned, before it is too late.
High-fructose corn syrup is in more foods than you would expect it to be.
It’s in soda, ketchup, fruit drinks, beer, salad dressings, cereals, breads, flavored yogurt, sauces, and tons of other things (Hand). It is also in almost all fast food restaurants’ food. Just at Burger King, it is in everything from soda, to ketchup, and from breakfast syrup to tarter sauce (Kuhl). It’s even in things we think are healthy, like Burger King’s Sesame Seed Buns, and their Mott’s Applesauce (Kuhl). If you want to be healthier, you can limit the amount of high-fructose corn syrup in your diet, or eliminate it all together. Some ways to do this are to stop eating fast food, drink less soda, cut down on juices with a high concentration of sugar, and limit processed foods from your diet.
According to a recent study, sixty-five percent of the American population wants to get rid of HFCS (Nestle). This study was based on three thousand participants that were taught about the positive and negative aspects of high-fructose corn syrup. These participants were all customers of Jason’s Deli, which has over two hundred outlets in the United States. Aware of the dangers caused by high-fructose corn syrup, Jason’s Deli banned it from all of its products (Nestle). By consuming products that contain HFCS, all we are doing is supporting it. If you want a healthier lifestyle, or if you want to go green, stop taking in high-fructose corn syrup. High-fructose corn syrup should be banned everywhere, before it can do any more damage than it already has.

It is interesting to note that HFCS is not used in baby food. Do manufacturers know something that they have not disclosed to the rest of us? (add after Jason’s Deli)

In addition to causing soil depletion in the Gulf of Mexico, corn is one of the most genetically modified plants in existence. Banned in Europe, this Frankenfood’s pollen has overtaken most of the US corn crop. The chances of consuming US corn or any of its byproducts untouched by GMO are relatively nil.
