High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a sweetener derived from corn, is a significant byproduct that contributes to the obesity epidemic. It is commonly found in processed foods and sugary beverages, providing empty calories without essential nutrients. The widespread use of HFCS, coupled with its high sweetness, encourages overconsumption and alters metabolic processes, leading to increased fat accumulation and obesity rates.

What is the problem with high concentrations of fructose?
This occurs mostly in high fructose corn syrup, which is the main sweetener in soft drinks (among many other products).

Many physicians and nutritionists now believe that high fructose corn syrup products are the proximate cause of the obesity epidemic and diabetes. (Also, fast foods, especially fried foods, plus candy bars, don't help either.)
