Below are the 52 brightest individual stars in order of their "average" apparent magnitudes in the visible spectrum as seen from Earth. To the naked eye on a clear dark night, in a place far from cities and lights, the total number of stars visible is about 9000. This is not the same as a list of the brightest stars as seen with the naked eye, because close binary or multiple star systems will appear as a single star brighter than their individual components. The binary system Alpha Centauri has an apparent magnitude of -0.27, but the brightest individual star is Alpha Centauri A with the apparent magnitude as listed here of -0.01. Hence Alpha Centauri is the third brightest star in the night sky, whilst its brightest component Alpha Centauri A is the fourth brightest individual star.
High fructose corn syrup (also known as glucose–fructose syrup and abbreviated as HFCS) is a sweetener made from corn starch. High fructose corn syrup is used in soft drinks, processed foods, cereal, yogurt and breakfast bars. As in the production of conventional corn syrup, corn starch is broken down into glucose. To make HFCS, the corn syrup is further processed to convert some of its glucose into fructose (fruit sugar). This results in a balance of glucose and fructose similar to that of sucrose (table sugar). History. High fructose corn syrup was first introduced during the late 1950s. It was first marketed in the United States in the early 1970s. Its use in the United States has grown, relative to sucrose, partly because of government subsidies for the production of corn.  Controversy. High fructose corn syrup has been linked to obesity, diabetes and other health problems. However, an expert in food policy who is also a professor at New York University, cautioned that the study doesn't show that diabetes is "caused" by consumption of high-fructose corn syrup, … “I think it’s a stretch to say the study shows high-fructose corn syrup has anything special to do with diabetes," and that "diabetes is a function of development. The more cars, more TVs, more cellphones, more sugar, more meat, more fat, more calories, more obesity, the more diabetes you have."  An article in "The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" titled “Straight talk about high-fructose corn syrup: what it is and what it ain't” states: “High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) ... is not meaningfully different in composition or metabolism from other fructose-glucose sweeteners like sucrose, honey, and fruit juice concentrates.” The article goes on to state: "Although there was considerable speculation in the 1980s that fructose was responsible for several metabolic anomalies, convincing proof that this was a significant health risk was never forthcoming."  The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated:  "We are not aware of any evidence … that there is a difference in safety between
