(2010) titled, High fructose corn syrup: Production, uses and public health concerns, serves to explain the process of making HFCS from corn to syrup, the different types of concentrations, and summarizes the major health concerns of HFCS found by various prior studies. She explains that, in the United States, corn is the most cultivated and profitable crop grown. Corn not only feeds humans but is also largely produced for farm animal consumption. Corn is so valued in the United States that the government has coined it the “king of crops” and its production is heavily financially supported. We have even produced herbicides that protect the crop from pesticides, therefore increasing production. Corn is also the source of the major sweetener that we find in many soft drinks and processed foods- high fructose corn syrup (Parker et al,
