High Fructose Corn Syrup May Lead To Diabetes


A new study by University of Southern California (USC) and University of Oxford researchers indicates that there is a relationship between the amounts of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) consumed in various countries and the likelihood of type 2 diabetes.

Researchers found that “countries using high fructose corn syrup in their food supply have a 20 percent higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes.” This increased prevalence “occurred independent of total sugar intake and obesity levels.” A press release from the sponsoring organizations noted that “growing evidence reveals that the body metabolizes fructose differently from glucose.”
These results underscore the need for consumers to read labels and consider the potential health consequences of the food they eat.
