High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): What exactly is it?

Research: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

.
Researchers monitored 48 adults aged between 18 and 40 for 2 weeks. The participants consumed 25% of their daily calories as glucose, fructose or HFCS.

At the end of the 2-week trial, the participants had increased concentrations of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein-B – a protein that can cause plaques that, in turn, can lead to vascular disease.
