The industry that produces high fructose corn syrup wants to change the name of HFCS to something more “accurate,” saying that people think HFCS is high in fructose when it isn’t. Well, it’s actually a mix of fructose and sucrose, from what I recall.
So, perhaps it should just be called something like “fructose sucrose syrup”? No? You want it to simply be called “corn sugar”? But won’t people assume there’s something natural about it and not get the idea that it’s got to be processed in a lab using chemicals that are too dangerous to make in, say, your kitchen?
>_<
Go check out the documentary King Corn, if you haven’t already and learn how completely effed up the American corn industry is.
