It’s no secret that chemical alternatives are unhealthier than their natural counterparts. The problem with sugar is that it is highly inflammatory and contributes to insulin resistance if consumed for long periods of time. Artificial sweeteners came into the scene to fight these issues. Artificial sweeteners like aspartame actually cause more harm than good by contributing to decreased satiety and expanding waistlines. In fact, individuals who consume sodas with artificial sweeteners weigh more than those who consume traditional sodas sweetened with sugar. High fructose corn syrup follows the same path, except that it wasn’t brought into the food industry with the intent to improve health. In reality, high fructose corn syrup costs less than actual sugar because it is much sweeter than sugar. Food manufacturers use less and earn more. It really is all about the money when it comes to this product. Food subsidies also put an enormous amount of attention in corn, the prime ingredient for producing high fructose corn syrup. This is why so many products, even those you would never imagine having the sweetener, contain high fructose corn syrup.
