Arrow High Fructose Corn Syrup, Oh Boy! -misrepresentation...AMA and FDA
High Fructose Corn Syrup, Oh Boy!
by
Jon Barron
This month, the Corn Refiners Association (CRA) launched the first of a series of television ads that are planned to run for the next 18 months as part of a campaign to "make-over" the image of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The core message of the ads is that high-fructose corn syrup is made from corn, has no artificial ingredients, has the same calories as sugar, is okay to eat in moderation -- and that it's endorsed by the AMA and the FDA. The ads are priceless in their misrepresentation of facts and in their total lack of respect for the intelligence of the viewing public -- although experience says they are, nevertheless, likely to win over large numbers of people. Before we go any further, you probably need to see one of these ads.

To see this hysterically funny ad and read the entire newsletter, go to http://www.jonbarron.org/diabetes-pr...2008-09-29.php.

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
