SUGAR.. The Not so Sweet Side of It

I have decided to write my rhectorical paper on sugar and glucose and the addiction that we all have of it.

I found this article in the August issue of National Geographic Magazine. The thesis part of this which I have already looked into and done research is how much sugar the average American eats each day without dipping into a sugar bowl. It reads, quote; " The average American eats 22.7 teaspoons of sugar a day due to sugars in processed foods. I futher hope to explore the differences and dangers (context lexical ties) in sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, and other sweeters.





One of our most studied concerns in this age is diet soda due to the dangers of the high content of high-fructose corn syrup that is used. I don't know about you but I love my diet coke. LOVE LOVE and crave it. It is 10:00 AM and I have already drank two of my most "delicious drinks".  So hopefully with this research and paper that I write I will learn as well as be able to explain some of the myth,s dangers and concerns over this subject as well as write a convincing and interesting rhectorical analysis.

Will I give up my diet coke due to findings?  i don't think so, matter of fact think I'll have another, Cheers!!

  2. Vicki, good choice of articles to analyze. I took nutrition last semester and it was an eye opener to exactly how poor my diet was. I never thought I had a bad diet because of the fact I have always been around my target weight for my height. Earlier this year I started training for MMA and running in preperation for my first two 5Ks on Nov. 16. With the changes I made to my diet then I can tell the drastic improvement in my day to day energy and overall well being. I think this will be a very interesting paper indeed.

    I don't know if you will catch this post but I would encourage you to read the blog I gave the address for above. My mother-in-law is a nurse and loves her Diet Cola but after fibromalisia symptoms began appearing she did some research and found out that her soda was the cause. Within a week of drooping the diet pops her symptoms went away.
