Topic: In my final research paper, I will look for the effects of high fructose corn syrup to the human body and also how this consumption benefits America’s entire food industries that related to the America’s economic conditions. More over, I will write about the diseases that result from the excess consumption of high fructose corn syrup.

The author of this little article mainly talks about the metabolic danger of HFCS. He actually tried to say that the calories alone are not the key problem with HFCS, but metabolism of excess amounts of fructose is the major concern.

This small part of this book is mainly about the differences between table sugar and HFCS. This chapter also talks about the consequences of these two types of sugar that people consume.

This article of NYT is about the name of HFCS that food producers have to label in their food products. This article is mainly about why food producers wanted to rename HFCS and how policy makers are going to politics their consumers by providing an ambiguous name of HFCS that they want to put in their food labeling.

This article reviews evidence in the context of current research linking dietary fructose to health risk makers. It also talks about how fructose intake has recently received considerable media attention, most of which has been negative.

The chapter of this book which I choose to use in my paper is mainly about the primary knowledge about the corn syrup and how scientists produced HFCS from the regular corn syrup that they became very different by their ingredients from each other.

This article presents information on the dynamic relationship between the prices of refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup using co integration econometrics. It mainly gives information about U.S sugar policy that insulated the domestic sugar industry through a combination of subsidies to producers and various trade restrictions.
The sources all appear to come from reliable print sources. I notice that some of these sources are relatively new which is very important when the topic is science oriented and information can change fast. The only point I can make is that I see only one side of the argument here. Are there any pro-HFCS arguments to be made?
ReplyDeleteThe topic seems interesting to learn about and all the resources are relevant to your topic to write about.But,as your are writing the damages done by using high fructose corn syrup, you can put some negative effects of it.
