Health, food, new technologies featured during ACS meeting Oct. 17-20 in Peoria, Ill.

The health benefits of certain foods and preparing for new technologies of the 21st century are among the topics being presented at the 36th Great Lakes regional meeting of the American Chemical Society, the worlds largest scientific society, in Peoria, Ill., Oct. 17-20. Approximately 450 papers will be presented and about 800 scientists are expected to attend the meeting, held at the Hotel Pre Marquette and Illinois Central College. Highlights of the meeting, which also features a wide range of topics related to medicine, environment and education, include the following:

Honey offers healthy alternative to sweetening agents Soda, Halloween candy and other food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners could one day get a fresh makeover using honey, researchers say. Scientists at the University of Illinois in Urbana say the ancient sweetener may be a healthier alternative than corn syrup due to its higher level of antioxidants, compounds which are believed to fight cancer, heart disease, stroke and other diseases. Honey, which contains a number of antioxidant components that act as preservatives, also shows promise as a replacement for some synthetic antioxidants widely used as preservatives in salad dressings and other foods, they say. Dark honey is generally thought to contain higher levels of antioxidants than the lighter varieties, according to the scientists.
