Consider why Americans may or may not choose foods with HFCS, including cost, effect on nutritional status, and what other nutrients may be provided in foods that typically contain HFCS.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hfcs is a short form for high Fructose corn syrup. The reason they use Fructose instead of Sucrose (table sugar) is because corn is much more readily abundant in the USA. HFC syrup is a common ingredient in packaged foods. Food manufacturers use it because it is sweeter.
