HFCS

Although most added sweeteners to our foods can cause obesity and diabetes, High Fructose Corn Syrup is the leader. Now found in most foods, it may be the major reason why obesity is increasing in this country. Beware that the name is changing, because of its bad reputation.

Of course, you have the Corn Refiners Association giving their propaganda, as they twist and spin. HFCS may not be any worse than sugar, but high consumption due to it being found in foods, puts it in the lead. Their stats paint a rosy picture, but this pretty much gives the reality. No doubt that the corn refiners are making a lucrative profit off their product, and will fire back with more twist and spin. Check for yourself,  all the reputable studies that the Corn Refiners Association tries to debunk.

Although the negativity grows, the refiners are relentless in their propaganda. I have signed both these petitions, and I encourage others to do the same.

You can see who else has interest in HFCS as the article names its biggest user by name...
The letter was signed by the president of the Corn Refiners Association and also by a cardiologist/professor with a university affiliation. It did not disclose the cardiologist's conflicts of interest, but a Medline search revealed that he has received research funding and consulting fees from PepsiCo, one of the biggest users of HFCS in the world.

At the very least, you have to wonder why the corn refiners are pushing for the name change of such a reputable and safe product. They even put up their "experts" and "doctors" against the JAMA, which shows a slight sense of desperation.
