Adolescence is the period between childhood and adulthood.

The Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup Begin with Processed Food
The dangers of high fructose corn syrup begin with processed foods. The definition of the word “processed” is “treated by a chemical or industrial process.” It is obvious that in a world inhabited by seven billion people there is a need to produce some foods on a mass scale in order to keep people fed. Without this process grocery store shelves would be empty.
Food has been processed in some manner since mankind began storing seasonal foods and scarce meat for later use. This is nothing new. What is new however is the means in which food items are processed.
Many canned foods now contain sugar. After all, high fructose corn syrup is sugar. Ketchup, Salad dressing, some commercial spaghetti sauces, even kidney beans and so much more are being canned with HFCS. Many “meals in a can” are loaded with HFCS and salt.
The human tongue has four basic senses. Sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. Sweet is the most desirable as the survival of the human body relies upon the ability to turn sugar into energy. This is a built in survival mechanism.
All sugar is the same, all sugar is different. Consumers are repeatedly told that high fructose corn syrup is the same as any other sugar. This is a bit of a distortion. The facts are easily found when considering the name of this sugar. The truth is that the human body does not process fructose in the same manner as other sugars.
Type two diabetes and obesity are both on the rise in epidemic proportions, even amongst those who are traditionally not at risk. The reason for this is that HFCS which is found in so many processed foods does not trigger the release of insulin into the body. It also does not trigger the brain chemistry that tells the body to stop eating. Add to this that sugar is highly addictive, so enough is never enough. The combination of overeating and the shortage of insulin are obvious dangers of high fructose corn syrup.
