Corn Syrup Not Responsible for Obesity Epidemic, University of Central Florida Reveals

There is no evidence to suggest that the current obesity epidemic can be specifically blamed on consumption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), according to a study. Researchers concluded that after an extensive review of all available HFCS research, there is overwhelming evidence showing HFCS is nutritionally equivalent to sugar. This opinion is in-line with the American Medical Association and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, both of which concluded that HFCS is not a unique cause of obesity.
