Corn sugar/ Corn syrup....
It seems that the Food and Drug Administration has cautioned the corn industry over its ongoing use of the term "corn sugar" to describe high fructose corn syrup. The Corn Refiners Association apperently want to use the term corn sugar instead of corn syrup to try and change the views of the product. It is well known that corn syrup is connected with diabetes, overweight people as well as other complications. Their attempt to change the name I believe wont change people from drinking it or not drinking it. If a person knows a soda is bad for you or anything that has high fructose corn syrup is bad they wont drink it. It's the persons choice to drink it or not. In a statement obtained by Barbara Schneeman it says, "We request that you re-examine your websites and modify statements that use the term `corn sugar' as a synonym for (high fructose corn syrup)," (Yahoo.com)finance.yahoo.com/news/AP-Exclusive-Official-slams-apf-2529890392.html?x=0 The main purpsoe of this story is to try and be on the same page and stop the confusion that society might have on these products. A soda is a soda and it is bad for you no matter what.
