High-Fructose Corn Syrup Getting Rebranded as Corn Sugar

Can't unless it actually is. Sugar is not just made from cane. Crystal sugar co. for example makes theirs largely from north Dakota sugar beets. I've seen it called "dehydrated cane juice" though. Mostly in health food products.

Yeah actually I am not opposed to this. The public needs to start maturing a little bit, being more aware of what they are eating.

My rootbeer flavored popsicle is weeping now.... you. Made it feel sad yo big meanie. Now I'll have to kiss it and make it better....

Agree!

it worked for "blackwater" i mean "XE"

lol

I definitely think they should be thinking more before the words come out, and then putting it onto paper.

unless its that fancy organic sweetner :D

Is it still safe to drink the water?

Stevia is better.

Good question. What is safe?

I'm not sure anymore. I think I'm pretty safe so long as I don't leave the house.

thats pretty much what i use :D

The sad thing is unfortunately we are not safe even in our own house.

Stevia is great but I do not like it in my tea.

i love it in my tea :D

Just great burst my little bubble why don't ya.

The wife an I have a little stevia plant. i don't care for it myself I think it taste like saccharin

Sorry, LOL

I find it leaves a little aftertaste.

thats Ok your not the first one to do so. I'm kind of getting used to it.

Maple syrup . If you are older , honey . Date sugar . These 3 things are all made by nature and have been time tested .

I like raw honey. I usually enjoy some it in my plain yogurt.

Hasn't been safe to drink the water in years...

We need to demand accountability from these organizations. Only then will we get results.

in canada they call it fructose... fructose syrup... take extra precautions eat organic :D

I actually just reached my 5th month of being vegetarian :)
my body feels so much better than it did before! Its so frustrating how the FDA doesn't want to help anyone stay healthier, enough to try to fool people by changing the name of something. :-\ i guess its either spend the money on good food now and stay healthy or down the road spend that money on hospital bills or medicine.

what a world we live in.

I feel like people (well most people anyway) would know the obvious places to still find corn syrup, but now that its renamed i feel like there just gonna keep renaming bad ingredient until it gets lost in translation. Anything to sell a Pepsi...

lol i had to buy all new clothes because i lost weight from eating organic... my pants started falling down. i too quit meat

Go us! :)

Accountability would mean some kind of oversight... even "regulation", oh heavens no we can't have any of that! That might hurt precious business!

The FDA has been turned into a pr firm, it's goals are to be friend to the business it was once tasked with over-seeing and regulating for the common good. It's all about advertising and promotions now!

Sure and street food is safe to eat also.

guy: only suckers pay retail
boss: well i'm not a sucker
guy: if these hotdogs are bad then would i eat one
guy: (chokes)

lol dilbert... the boss buying hotdogs from a guy in an alley

hey I think I know that guy.

Do you read what you type?

I guess?

It's a play off of "all your base are belong to us". Oh wait, as I'm typing this I just read Einsam's reply.

No problem I do that to sometimes. Nice to know that others are willing to help clear things up when I get lost or confused.

THAT WAS HILARIOUS! I pity the fool that voted it down.

Hold on to it because one day it will be outlawed. Because it's EVIL I say it's EVIL!!!!

Damn Hippies aways spreading their weed and long hair all over the place. Next they will want equal rights.

Damn Hippies just can't leave well enough alone

Are you serious?

It's too expensive to eat properly. Lower the costs of organic food a little bit or make it more readily available and the health issues in this country will dramatically decrease which in one way or another cover the cost of organic food.

Or at least stop subsidizing shitty farming practices.

Amen! The shitty food we eat is practically murdering the citizens, unfortunately it's cheap and convenient.

It's a little more expensive, sure. But I'm about as low income as it gets right now and I manage to eat healthy. I've cut most preservatives and all corn syrup out of my diet. Almost all refined sugars and oils, for that matter. I actually spend less on the stuff I buy now. You don't have to buy all organic to eat healthy, either.

Thats not going to happen. To many politicians are heavly invested in farming an ranching.

You also have a lot of time on your hands. I assume this because you say your "about as low income as it gets".

no its not... you can eat an organic meal for the same price as mcdonalds... i couldn't believe it until i tried it lol. but you will end up eating lots of pasta.

i swear a few months ago i was able to get enough organic past, sauce, and garlic bread to feed 6 for under 10 bucks...

but the general stuff in the grocery store does get expensive

so who wants taco-bell... lol

For some reason I feel you're trying to slight me. I don't think you understand what 'low income' means for most people. I've got 2 jobs. So do most of my friends. Some of them have three. Grocery shopping and cooking healthy doesn't take any more time than 'normal' shopping. Low income means less time on your hands, unless you're a lazy, welfare-sucking douchbag, in which case you deserve your low income.

It might require a little extra time to plan and figure out a new menu and shopping list. Making major life changes such as altering a diet do take some work before they become second nature. Maybe next time you're sitting around watching TV you should instead consider trying to better yourself and the way you live. You can start by cutting out TV.

You can also find some cheap organic stuff that, for some reason, is kept with the regular stuff. I also try to shop based on ingredients rather than simply organic or not. Some of the stuff that labels itself 'organic' really isn't...

i know... i buy from the market most of the time and local shops, but during the winter i am stuck with grocery store...

Go ahead; not going to bother me.

Again with the money. People with that attitude, in my opinion, are either defeatists or just lazy. Cos really, it's not more expensive to eat healthy. The only building blocks and fuel your body has is what you give it.

@Calgar
I stick with the grocery store. I may be denouncing laziness in this post, but I'm still far to lazy too shop at more than one place. ;)

What you get with "corporate farming" (corporate everything really).

Yup, and it all gets made into ATP anyway. ding^

HFCS costs approximately 40% as much to produce as cane sugar. The average American easts nearly 38 pounds of HFCS per year. The demand for HFCS adds approximately 6-8 cents per bushel to the price of corn, bringing farmers in the U.S. more than half a billion dollars each year in additional revenues.

Thank you ! That does explain it .

It is very sad that our well being comes down to simply more revenues.

might? As in might get hit by an astroid? Might suddenly have a house fly accidently lay an egg in your eye which inexplicably hatches into a maggot and burrows into your brain? Might have your body suddenly become incapable to defend itself against skin fungus and turn into the tree man?

If you have to engage in bizarre acrophobia there are so many more much more interesting things to be terrified of.

Cool. So have them dehydrated it down into corn sugar before they use it. Mosassas and brown sugar are not the same thing after all though they qualify by the given criteria.

the "natural unrefined stuff" actually isn't buying you anything. Unrefined sugar is better known in the US as black-strap molasses and in Britain as treacle. There's a ton of iron in it which I suppose is nice but when it gets to your teeth and your gut it behaves exactly the same way.
"unrefined sugar" Brown sugar.
"dehydrated cane juice"? Sugar. No, that's Literally what sugar is. Pure marketing BS.
