There is no credible scientific evidence to conclude that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a unique contributor to obesity, according to a new report released by the Center for Food and Nutrition Policy at Virginia Tech-National Capital Region.
The findings are the result of the Ceres Workshop, "The Highs and Lows of High Fructose Corn Syrup," co-sponsored by the Joint Institute for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, University of Maryland, and which included experts on nutritive sweeteners, carbohydrate chemistry and human metabolism.
