The author, Helmut Beriebeck, talks about how the increased consumption of soft drinks over the past years has been a contributing factor to the increased obesity rates. In his first statement Beriebeck talks about how high fructose corn syrup which was introduced 30 years ago is now a main ingredient in almost all soft drinks. Now this may just seem coincidential at first but not after studies that have been done. Studies have shown that high fructose syrup does not trigger the same safety signals to the body as something like sucrose sweetening does. So because of the increased intake of high fructose corn syrup due to the increased intake of things like soft drinks one can conclude that high fructose corn syrup is a major leading cause of obesity in many people’s lives.
