Beware of high-fructose corn syrup

Large amounts of that sweetener in food might help explain the rising epidemic of diabetes, says researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of Oxford in England. They found that countries with food supplies that had the highest levels of high-fructose corn syrup had a rate of type 2 diabetes that was 20 percent higher than countries that don't use it. The U.S. had the highest per capita consumption of the sweetener, about 55 pounds a year.
