HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup has been the cheap sweetener of choice in processed foods for decades. Soft drink makers may be backing away from it now, but the damage has already been done. Now I have to look it up. I believe normal corn syrup is glucose but they isomerize part to high fructose. A postscript in Chemical and Engineering News was complaining about it. I'll see if I can find it. |
