well, she could have said "that it's caused the diabetes 2 epidemic in this country" but i guess that wouldn't have gone over big with the dow chemical company

That is just way too strange for words. I went to the website they show at the end: sweetsurprise.com, and you can watch both tv ads and see the print ads there as well. It's very odd- most of what the website says is that "high fructose corn syrup isn't any worse nutritionally from table sugar". I mean, that's not it verbatim, but that's the gist of it. I was unaware that table sugar contained nutrients. Huh.

I'm convinced. In fact, I am going to throw all my vegetables away and go buy some fun dip and pixie stix!!! yea for high fructose corn syrup. It's from corn and corn is good for you! I am so glad I've seen the light.

They forgot to mention that it is vegan too! If it's vegan, it must be good for you--like potato chips! Yum! Maybe they make raw vegan high fructose corn syrup! Yum! Gotta go now--time for my vegan high fructose corn syrup covered potato chips!

Well, they do make organic corn syrup, and, sadly, you'll find it in many Newman's Own products.
