| The Corn Refiners Association, no doubt upset by the consumer backlash against high fructose corn syrup, has a simple solution to their problem. They want to rename HFCS "corn sugar." That way, all of those silly consumers will read the label, see no HFCS, and they won't know that they are eating HFCS even though they don't want to.
This is, of course, outrageous, as it only serves to confuse people and to take away their ability to choose what foods they put in their bodies. If you want to make a comment to the FDA (which I hear is going to begin reviewing the comments soon), go here. If the link does not work, the docket ID to search on is FDA-2010-P-0491-0001. |
