In the United States, HFCS is among the sweeteners that have mostly replaced sucrose (table sugar) in the food industry. [7] [8] Factors contributing to the increased use of HFCS in food manufacturing include production quotas of domestic sugar, import tariffs on foreign sugar, and subsidies of U.S. corn, raising the price of sucrose and reducing that of HFCS, creating a manufacturing-cost ...
HFCs replaced older chlorofluorocarbons such as R-12 and hydrochlorofluorocarbons such as R-21. [2] HFCs are also used in insulating foams, aerosol propellants, as solvents and for fire protection. They may not harm the ozone layer as much as the compounds they replace, but they still contribute to global warming --- with some like ...
Lisa McLaughlin from Time responded by saying "unless you're making a concerted effort to avoid it, it's pretty difficult to consume high-fructose corn syrup in moderation." [ 5 ] In September 2010, the CRA applied for permission to use the name "corn sugar" in place of high fructose corn syrup on food labels for products sold in the United States.
Glucose syrup was the primary corn sweetener in the United States prior to the expanded use of high fructose corn syrup production in 1964. [14] HFCS is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose. [15] The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble. [citation needed]

HFCs were developed in the 1990s to substitute for substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). As these substances were found to deplete the ozone layer , the Montreal Protocol began to lay down provisions for them to be phased-out globally after the agreement was ratified in 1987.
HCFCs have similar GWP values and medium ODP values. HFCs again have similar GWP values but a zero ODP value. Natural refrigerants have low to zero GWP values and zero ODP values. [13] Natural refrigerants are therefore gaining increased interest to replace HFCs and offer a more sustainable option for refrigeration. [1]
Earth Fare is an American health and wellness supermarket with 20 locations in eight states throughout the southeastern United States. [2] [3] It sells natural and organic food that the company claimed to have the highest product standards in the United States (free of various artificial additives, high-fructose corn syrup, hormones and antibiotics), [4] [5] and was one of the largest natural ...
