Comment from the contributor:
Reuters -- The Corn Refiners Association have launched a media campaign to change the conversation about High Fructose Corn Syrup. The association's president says they want to bust the many myths circulating about HFCS. After all, it does meet the FDA's guideline for the use of the term natural. Consumption of high fructose corn syrup has been dropping in recent years, yet the rates of obesity and diabetes in the U.S. continue to rise. In a recent national survey, such myths have led consumers to believe that High Fructose Corn Syrup is different that table sugar.
"There are so many myths, inaccuracies and untruths associated with this sweetener that we felt it was necessary to set the record straight," said Audrae Erickson, president, Corn Refiners Association. "We hope to provide balanced information about high fructose corn syrup to allow consumers to make informed decisions based on science."
