Dietician Keri Glassman Weighs in on Sugar-HFCS Debate
Dietician Keri Glassman spoke to Maggie Rodriguez about the conflicting health claims between sugar and high fructose corn syrup. A backlash against high fructose corn syrup has manufacturers now proudly boasting their products contain cane sugar or beet sugar. Dietician Keri Glassman says the jury is still out on HFCS but she does think people are consuming too much of either sugar or high fructose corn syrup. She says people should be consuming no more than 32 grams of added sugar daily - about eight teaspoons.
