As we all watch the TV at night we are bound to see a commercial trying to sell to you that “high-fructose corn syrup” is the same as sugar.
The idea that high-fructose corn syrup infuses lots of our food has left a bitter taste in many consumers’ mouths. So the corn industry has started a public relations campaign on behalf of its beleaguered syrup in an attempt to rename the additive as “corn sugar.”
All this over a word: Sweetener Death Match: Sugar vs. Syrup
Ever-time I watch it I wonder how did anyone allow this to be on TV. Forget about the word… think about what “high-fructose corn syrup” has been linked too and the study in 2004 by the American Journal of Nutrition. Take a look at your cupboard … I had 5 items I didn’t even know it was in (now in the trash). I don’t want to take a chance with my children’s health do you?
