The makers of high fructose corn syrup feel that the product has been getting a bad rap lately. So what do they want to do about it? Change the name to corn sugar. Pretty sweet, right? Meh. Not so much. It is still the same product but the makers are out to market it in a new manner. They’re thinking is “sugar is sugar”. Meaning your body can’t tell the difference between can sugar or high fructose corn syrup.
Who’s behind the renaming movement? It’s pretty obvious the corn industry is but in this case it’s the Corn Refiners Association.
The answer? Cut back on the sugar of any kind. USA TODAY has an article about the name chance that’s worth reading.
