This website is to showcase the research I have done over the summer in my English 2010 course. It will explain how high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) effects the human body. Many Americans are unaware of how many foods contain HFCS, which is a artificial sweetener that is derived from corn and then chemically altered to make it sweet like sugar. I specifically chose this topic to better inform others around me why they should avoid products that contain HFCS.
