There has been a recent discovery that there is an association between the consumption of high fructose corn syrup and the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes. Researchers have found through a study that Type 2 diabetes prevalence was 20 percent higher in countries where the food supplies contained high fructose corn syrup. Countries where the food supply did not include HFCS had a 6.7 percent prevalence to Type 2 diabetes, and countries that contain HFCS in the food supply had a 8 percent prevalence. High fructose corn syrup is used as a sweetener in several foods such as soda and candy because it is in fact a kind of sugar. Studies show that HFCS consumption may result in negative health consequences and that there are clear distinctions from HFCS and natural sugar. There are facts that go against that specific studies results for example, there is a scientific consensus that table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are nutritionally and metabolically equivalent. Another study shows that the United States is the highest-consuming country of HFCS out of 42 countries. High fructose corn syrup is one of the main ingredients in processed food and
