September 18/Shrewsbury, Mass./PRNewswire -- A new article published in the International Journal of Obesity found there is no evidence to suggest the current obesity epidemic in the U.S. can be specifically blamed on consumption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
The commentary concludes 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.
