Annotated Journal Articles for Senior Project.

• "The effects of sucrose, fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup meals on plasma glucose and insulin in non-insulin-dependent diabetic subjects. — Diabetes Care ." Diabetes Care . N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2009.
o This article shows that there is no difference of blood levels of those who consumed HFCS and those who consumed sucrose. I know were against HFCS but this might be something to put into the video possibly.
• industry, the food, and enjoyed such spectacular growth.. " Straight talk about high-fructose corn syrup: what it is and what it ain't -- White 88 (6): 1716S -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition." American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. N.p., n.d. Web. 10 Nov. 2009. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/88/6/1716S?ijkey=QWxerxxoSOP4o&keytype=ref&siteid=ajcn
o I liked this article because they had a hypothesis of hfcs being the leading cause of obesity. Then they say how hfcs is not a major cause of hfcs.

• http://www.obesityaction.org/magazine/oacnews10/HFCS.pdf

o In this link they mention how HFCS is related to obesity
o I understand how hfcs is may be the same but the thing is its not natural its mostly chemicals. Why not use just regular sugar?

o In this article they talk about how mercury was found in HFCS.

• http://www.kaystreich.com/files/High_Fructose.pdf
o I really liked this article because its taking the same stance on HFCS as me and my partner and I are.
o One thing that stood out to me was this part
• Because of the unusually long shelf life of HFCS, store-bought cakes, cookies, brownies, mixes, breads, sodas, juices, tomato sauce and all of the rest could be sold with practically no expiration date. HFCS, despite misleading labels that read “all natural,” is an ENTIRELY man-made substance. It's almost indestructible. Like Styrofoam, eternal and immortal.
