You might want to also pass along you...Hi Cynthia,<br /><br />You might want to also pass along your comment to Laura Ries who wrote this article on her site http://ries.typepad.com/ries_blog/2010/09/high-fructose-corn-syrup-not-so-sweet.html .<br /><br />I believe that Laura's viewpoint comes from a branding and marketing perspective which is why I decided to share it here.<br /><br />Truth in advertising is important, as is marketing your best features and not your worst. Combine those two and you end up with commercials for drugs that have 15 seconds of benefits, followed by 45 seconds of disclaimers!ScLoHo (Scott Howard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06845134204599222869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11222355.post-2915611679086939102010-09-19T08:02:49.767-04:002010-09-19T08:02:49.767-04:00Hi,
My google alert for HFCS picked up your post. ...Hi,<br />My google alert for HFCS picked up your post. Intersting article, but not accurate with respect to<br />HFCS been approximately equal to sugar in terms of relative amounts of fructose and glucose.<br />This is straigt from ADM's website.<br />We make Cornweet 42, 55, and 90.<br />The #'s reflect % of fructose.<br />90 is used for low-cal products to<br />impart a pungent sweetness with fewer calories. Imagine the poor bloke trying to shed a few pounds.<br />He grabs a bottle labeled, lo-fat,<br />low-cal. Little does he know his liver is being bomabarded with <br />90:10 fructose:glucose ratio.<br />And now the CRA wants to label all<br />their industrial sweeteners regardless of the % fructose as<br />the gentle "corn sugar"?Cynthia1770https://www.blogger.com/profile/14460697982302389838noreply@blogger.com
