The International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation and the School Nutrition Association Foundation worked in partnership to produce a Webinar, “High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and School Wellness: Science-Based Facts for Healthful School Nutrition Operations.” The Webinar aired live on May 7, 2008 and can be accessed on the IFIC Foundation Web site's Web cast section.
This free Web-based seminar (Webinar) was developed to clarify the issues surrounding HFCS by presenting nutrition, food science, and consumer perspectives.
Speakers provided data-driven facts to correct misunderstandings about HFCS and included food science expert John White, PhD and nutrition scientist Theresa Nicklas, PhD. The scientific discussion is followed by the detailed, real-life experience of managing this topic in the school foodservice setting.
The information provided by this Webinar will be of interest to anyone wishing to learn more about HFCS.
