Fast Food News: Corn Refiners Association HFCS Propaganda

didnt the fda say awhile ago that ANY amount of high fructose corn syrup was bad for you?

Compared to recent campagn "ads", I'd rather have half-truths than untruths.
Okay. Neither.

Make your own stuff at home using cane sugar. It's hard to compete with the soft drink makers, but you should try. Unsweetend juice with ice is just as inviting as any soft drink. Add cane sugar if you must. A homemade cake is just about as easy as a mix and tastes so much better. Cook from scratch. You can choose your ingredients and avoid the corn sweeteners and chemicals.

Thank you for the post. My dad actually told me about these ads this morning. Such a bunch of BS and I think it's interesting to note that the amount of diabetes and obesity started to increase since the 70's when Nixon asked these people to start working on other ways to use corn. Hmmm...a coincidence? Doubtful...

yea. this is so low. just when it seems things can't get any more ridiculous- surprise:) they come up with this crap.

What even more unsettling is that people will watch these commercials and think that HFCS is just fine. And all the progress that we have made with informing consumers about the Food Industry ploys will go straight down the tubes.

Commercials like this should be illegal!

How about we make a commercial about how cocaine and tobacco and marijuana can be enjoyed by everyone. Because they all come from the ground, naturally like plants! YAY*

in moderation of course.
p.s.
I'll bring the bong if you bring some papers and roll up some dollar bills too cus we're gonna party

too bad this stuff is in just about everything we eat. can't really eat it in small portions when it's in your hot dog, hot dog bun. ketchup, potato chips and even your juice. ewww
there goes my craving for a tail-gate

WOW. I'm not surprised though.

This is just as dumb as the anti-marijuana adds they've put out...

"A sugar is a sugar, whether it comes from honey, high fructose corn syrup, table sugar, or fruit juices. Nutritionally they’re all the same. Moderation is the key."

Do you ever sit at the train tracks watching all those cars full of straight corn syrup go by and wonder "where the f*ck does all that corn syrup go to?" "oh yea, in EVERYTHING!"

Don't trust processed anything. It's only done for profit.

This is hysterically funny! It shouldn't be but it is.

it actually cost more for high-fructose corn syrup then sugar. High-fructose corn syrup takes more energy to produce and they are subsidized. Though the consumer may pay less, overall we pay more.

Oh and one more thing they contribute more to global warming then sugar.

i first saw this commercial half on mute and i thought it was AGAINST corn syrup
WTFFFF!?

plus that shit makes me queasy

Maybe HFCS will help cure my 'restless leg syndrome'? Amazing spin put on a product. Thanks for the clarity, WholeFreeSpirit!

This is propoganda that is really, really transparent. It's even more uncomfortable watching big business bullying the voice of reason on something so harmful to the health of our country as HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!!!

It's amazing...AMAZING...to see this happen. The only good thing that can come of this is that people learn how to stand up to socially powerful influences in order to come up with good reasons to reject what is harmful for them. EVEN under peer pressure!!!!
