This document discusses high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and whether or not it should be consumed. It provides information on yearly consumption trends in the US, compares HFCS to sucrose, lists foods that contain HFCS, and discusses potential negative health effects linked to HFCS like obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The document also notes criticisms from nutritionists about overconsumption of HFCS in the US and efforts to regulate or ban HFCS, though the FDA has rejected calling HFCS "corn sugar".
