Chemical contaminants used during manufacturing end up in the HFCS and in our food. What we know, for example, is that chloralkali is used in making high fructose corn syrup. Chloralkai contains mercury. And there are trace amounts of mercury found in high fructose corn syrup-containing beverages. Now, it may not be a problem if we eat this occasionally, but the average person in the country consumes more than 20 teaspoons a day of high fructose corn syrup and the average teenager has 34 teaspoons a day.
The convenience stores and supermarkets are the dominant off-premise retail channels for energy beverages. 2) Does your characterization bode well for a new energy beverage brand introduction generally and for DPSG, in particular?

All told, however, consumption of HFCS in the United States increased by more than 1,000 percent between 1970 and 1990, and a study published in the April 2004 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, concluded that Americans over the age of two consume more than 300 calories daily from caloric sweeteners, one-sixth of their average daily calories. HCFS may also promote weight gain because it behaves in the body more like fat than glucose, the blood sugar derived from other sweet foods. Some evidence suggests that fructose may disturb liver function, and unlike glucose, doesn't appear to trigger
Obesity itself cannot solely be blamed on the high consumption of soda or sugary-drinks, but there is a strong correlation between the two. Boston Children’s Hospital preformed a study with 224 overweight, or obese, high school students. Half of the recipients received free home deliveries of zero-calorie drinks along with water; others received a fifty dollar gift card. According to this study, “after one year, the gift card recipients had gained more weight than those who got the calorie-free drinks” (“Getting Fat on Sugary-Drinks” 8). The evidence provided in this study concludes that soda can be a leading factor in obesity rates, and that water or lower-calorie drinks can help prevent obesity.
According to the manufacturer, sucralose is used in over 4,000 products across 80 different countries. Like most other artificial sweeteners, sucralose is extremely sweet, about 600 times more than regular sugar. When it is sold to consumers, Splenda is diluted with maltodextrin, a starchy carbohydrate, so that the product only contains 1% sucralose. 3) Discuss safety and the sweetener you have selected. Approximately 85% of sucralose has been shown to not be absorbed by the body and is excreted unchanged.

For my research on the topic, I went to a soda aisle at Kroger, off of Ridge Road in Heath, TX. There are four aisles dedicated to soft drinks at this location. Each aisle is fifty two feet long, totaling with a whopping two hundred and eight feet designated to soft drinks. There are a few ways to break down all of this space in the soft drink area. One way to do so is to separate the space into the generic soft drink flavors.
This consists of 8.03 g of sugar(dextrose) and 0.96 grams of starch (malt dextrin) 10 grams of Splenda has 33 Calories compared to 39 Calories for an equal amount of sugar. The calories in Splenda come from the carbohydrates in it. 3. Discuss safety and the sweetener that you have selected. A study of a component in Splenda (sucralose) concluded, “There is no indication that adverse effects on human health would occur from frequent or long-term exposure to sucralose at the maximum anticipated levels of intake”.
Plenty of people do prefer Diet Coke because it healthier than Regular Coke. Diet Coke is much fresher, brighter, and crisper than Regular Coke because it has less sugar with breakdown sweeteners.
