High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is a heavily debated food ingredient. Some argue that it has significantly contributed to the obesity epidemic, while others say it is fine in moderation.
Either way, it may be something you want to avoid. But before you take another bite of your health bar, you may want to check the ingredients. It could contain HFCS.
