    this is a classic.
    HFCS finally gets the bad rap it deserves, so they change the name to “sugar”. ffs.

    reminds me of the situation in Japan. HFCS appears on food labels as “kato-budoto-ekito” (fructose-glucose syrup). no mention of corn anywhere.

    perception management…yeas.

    From the Guardian:
    Michael Jacobson, executive director of the Washington-based Centre for Science in the Public Interest, said that the fundamental issue was that people needed to consume less sugar: “Soda pop sweetened with sugar is every bit as conducive to obesity as soda pop sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.”

    my response:
    liar, liar, your pants are on fire
