Expert Solution

Sugar is 50% glucose and 50% fructose, while high fructose corn syrup is about 45% glucose and 55% fructose.Fructose causes inflammation within the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, which is a risk factor for heart disease.

Increased fructose consumption in humans results in increased visceral adiposity, lipid dysregulation, and decreased insulin sensitivity, all of which have been associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

You're the manager of Archer-Daniels Midland Company (ADM). ADM uses corn to produce high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and corn oil (e.g., Mazola). Assume that the production of corn oil is positively related to the production of oil. Write out a cost function and show that there are cost complementarity and economies of scope in the production of HFCS and corn oil. Based on the solution to the last question, assume that you would like to increase production of HFCS...
