 Distinguishing Between Reporting and Arguing

For school I have written a couple of research papers for science classes. I feel the purpose of these was to collect data a rewrite what I have learned with no other definitive purpose in mind. Its goal was to prove that I did the necessary research to prove my competency of the topic. For both these projects it was my instructor. I just wanted a good grade to be honest.

For my job I wrote a paper for both work and school. It was a proposal and the purpose was to provide my employer with information on reasoning for a promotion with in the department. My goal was to provide information to support the fact that our growth justified a change in structure to provide more opportunity for all parties involved. The audience was my instructor, my peers, and my supervisors within my work place. I wanted them to serious consider make the proposed changes or to at least look at the way we were structured and make what they felt were appropriate changes

What is your rhetorical situation?

How can avoiding high fructose corn syrup make a difference in your diet?

The purpose for me researching this topic is to answer many questions I had about the product. I wanted to know why it was the risk are of consuming this product. I also wanted to know if any of these risk affected ones health and if so why. How it affect the body and why it is different the other types of sugars. Why they it is put into products that did not use to contain ant type of sugars.

The intended audience is my instructor, peers and clients. The main audience looking at this as a real project would be my clients. I want to be able to educate individuals on healthy diet choices and to give them information to consider when make choices in purchasing products.

The context on my topic falls under the controversy in health related fields. I work in the spa and fitness industry and have struggled with my weight my whole life since I can remember. My beliefs and understandings have made me more interested in this topic 

Generating responses to your research question

How can avoiding high fructose corn syrup make a difference in your diet?

What are the risk are of consuming this product?

High caloric intake

Affected energy levels

Irregular hormonal response to eating

High tryglicerides

Would any of these risk affect ones health and if so why?

Weight gain, leading to obesity

Diabetes

 How does it affect the body?

It confuses the receptor not letting the body know when it has had enough to eat

Is processed by liver differently

Does not respond with insulin like regular sugars 

 Why it is different the other types of sugars?

The body recognizes it differently then other sugars and confuses the leptin and gerhilin hormones.

 Why does it get put into products that did not use to contain ant type of sugars?

It is mainly used as a sweetener, but it is also used as a preservative and makes bread fluffier and made with it browns better.

Understanding your warrants

I know I will need to collect data to support my warrants and will need to further question and get feedback from classmates friends and colleagues. The amount of information I have gather so far will be a good start but this section has presented me with a new challenge. I will need some time to work this out but It will be very helpful for my WP#3.

Developing rebuttals

The counter arguments I need to consider is that HFCS does not cause obesity it is contributed to many factors. Another counter argument is that is not different then table sugar. One of my sources counter argues the fact that HFCS in soda does not contribute to obesity but does not approach the product as a whole. The other source I am planning on including counter argues that HFCS is no different the other types of table sugar

The sources I have found so far are both weak in my mind. I need to continue my leads to complete this section. At this point in my research I think I am going to have to visit the library to
