    Notes:
    13 pages., Paper presented at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association annual meeting, Mobile, Alabama, February 4-7, 2017., Researchers analyzed the market of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the United States and its linkages with the soft drink market. Results showed that soft drinks are the main driver behind the growing demand for HFCS. Also, negative news on HFCS had a negative effect on the growth of demand for soft drinks. However, per capita advertising on soft drinks had a positive effect on the growth of demand for soft drinks and more than offset the effect of negative news.
