b. use of high-fructose corn syrup has in-creased.
c. use of artificial sweeteners has increased.
d. use of honey and other natural sweeteners has increased.
B
Use of refined white sugar has decreased because use of high-fructose corn syrup has increased. High-fructose corn syrup is used because it is cheaper to produce and sweeter. Unfortunately, consumers are not using less sugar; in fact, they are consuming more sugar overall. Use of artifi-cial sweeteners, honey, and other natural sweeteners has increased, but this is not the main con-tributor to decreased refined white sugar consumption.
