Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the impact of two specific new biotechnologies, the high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and the bovine growth hormone (BGH), on two totally different socioeconomic settings — Mexico and the United States. In the case of the latter, it is nearly an ex post assessment of the socioeconomic impact, while in the case of the former it is more of an ex ante analysis of possible impact as these biotechnologies have not reached the application stage.
