What is HFCS?
What is HFCS?
High Fructose Corn Syrup. In Canada and Europe it is called Glucose-Fructose, It is a highly processed form of manufactured sugar
made from starch.
It is much cheaper than sugar made from sugar cane or sugar beets, partly because the US government has import tariffs on imported cane sugar and subsidies for domestic corn growers.
Canada doesn't grow a lot of corn because of our colder climate but we do import a lot of American processed foods that contain HFCS.
The United States Food and Drug Administration states that it is safe but that opinion is very controversial and often questioned.
They do however recommend that Americans consume less sugars from all sources. They eat more of it than anyone else:
Sugar consumption by country:
USA is #1 at 125.4 g per person per day
Russia is #2 at 105 g
Canada is #10 at 89.9 g
