Week 4 Discussion
The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing
relevant topics for this week based on the course competencies covered.
For this assignment, make sure you post your initial
response to the Discussion Area by the due date
assigned.
To support your work, use your course and text readings
and use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work
and provide references for the citations in APA format.
Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your
classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your
classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a
statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale,
challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between
two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation
for this assignment by the end of the week.
Increased Body Weight
In recent years, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been
blamed for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity in the U.S.
(Bray, Nielsen, & Poplin, 2004). It is present in many foods, including
those we would expect to find it in, such as candy, to those unexpected,
including salad dressing.
If your last name starts with the letters A-L you are
assigned the "pro" side. If your last name starts with the letters
M-Z, you are assigned the "con" side. The "pro" side will
make a case that HFCS has contributed to the increased body weight of
Americans. The "con" side will make a case that HFCS has not
contributed to the increased body weight of Americans. 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.
You must back up your argument with reputable references,
which includes scientific journal articles that can be accessed through the
South University Online library. Remember that we are discussing this topic to
learn from one another's research and that the side that someone may be
defending may not be what they truly believe; please be kind and considerate in
your posts.
