The obesity rates in America has increased over the past 20 years and studies have found that drinking large amounts of sugar-sweetened beverages affects, children especially, the risk of obesity. HFCS is a “high-fructose” corn syrup and sucrose is table sugar which came from sugar beets, they also contain nearly equal proportion of smaller glucose and fructose sugars. Both HFCS and sucrose differs in the amount of fructose that is contained in each, but are almost equally in being chemically equivalent. Dr. Robert Lustig implies that overconsumption of too much fructose over time can cause metabolic syndrome, a cluster of disorders, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and fatty liver disease which are some of the major diseases mentioned.

Lustig’s “toxic-sugar” theory, such as David Katz, he isn’t a fructose researcher hence that he is a physician; he only mentioned twice about his theory of fructose in six papers, reviews and commentaries before his video was released although he had one original scientific paper of the subject. Also Dr. Lustig wasn’t the only one to theorize about fructose and how it affects the health problems currently, the subjects were focused on on overweight children. Compared to with data with animals as models, it has proven some of Lustig’s hypotheses, but the problem was that the animals were given higher portions of fructose due to their livers being able to use carbohydrate into fat naturally. Kat had also criticized that Lustig’s performance to introducing the problem of subject that appealed to the audience in a way to gain attention as if was an extreme matter with his video that went viral. Dr. Lustig used his own scientific method by only making hypothesis to which was a guess that could be tested therefore making it isn’t a solid or guaranteed idea although he makes it so appealing that it was believable. Though the Nurses Health Study and the Framingham Heart Study has supported the idea that a drink of either fruit juice or soda can cause a high chance of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and likely to have metabolic syndrome. The Women’s Health Study has also founded that it didn’t make much of a difference to those that consumed …show more content…
Although there is a need of further research on the subject, here was some information to show that there is evidence to show that a person would be at risk of having metabolic syndrome from up to five risk factors. If you have three or more of the options were chosen, then the person is evident to having metabolic syndrome. The focus of the study is mainly on consumption of soft drinks that could give a risk of metabolic syndrome as well as the risk of heart disease and weight gain with drinking a can of soda including diet on a daily or frequency for an adult. The researched had two ways of using questioners to collect the data by which they did physician-administered questionnaire and self-administered administered food frequency questionnaire, both of which that recorded information of consumption of soda versus the diet soda on a daily or frequency. The research could be rather difficult because different people has different times of which they would consume a soft drink or even a diet soda, the questionnaire is resourceful and a easy way to gain information even though everybody’s intake of sugar is different from others. There weren’t animals as subjects for the project, but human
