High Fructose Corn Syrup Consumption by Country

 

Greece and Egypt have very low HFCS consumption but high obesity rates.  So blaming US obesity rates on HFCS is somewhat questionable.



Obesity US:  During August 2021–August 2023, the prevalence of obesity in adults was 40.3%, with no significant differences between men and women. Obesity prevalence was higher in adults ages 40–59 than in ages 20–39 and 60 and older.

Egypt:  44.7% of adult (aged 18 years and over) women and 25.9% of adult men are living with obesity. Egypt's obesity prevalence is higher than the regional average 

Romania:  38%
