What are the Health Concerns Associated with HFCS?
Epidemiological studies have associated high intake of HFCS with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes. The high fructose content can lead to hyperuricemia, a condition that may result in gout and hypertension. Furthermore, HFCS consumption is often linked to poor dietary habits, contributing to caloric overconsumption and nutrient deficiencies.
