there’s been a controversy over whether high fructose corn syrup can be labeled as “natural,” and the FDA has just sided with the Corn Refiners Association (and maybe with Disney, who doesn’t want to have wasted all that money updating the “It’s a Small World” ride so that overweight passengers no longer sink the boats) in allowing foods containing HFCS to be labeled “all natural.” thanks FDA!
“This is very good news, and makes it clear once again that HFCS is at a parity with sugar,” said Audrae Erickson, president of the Corn Refiners Association.
