Click here for HFCS Skit.
Yes it's a parody and it's supposed to be extreme but I think it puts the whole "moderation" argument in perspective given the rise of obesity and diabetes in children. They even had the decency to say "somewhat" natural in the skit. Do we even have a clue what moderation is? Like soy, corn is often subsidized, genetically modified (and unlabeled), and put in just about everything. The thing is our bodies don't handle HFCS the same way as real sugar and it's clearly showing it's genetic differences in the bodies of our children.
Click on above link above to see the SNL spoof about HFCS. There are other skits and such that I'll add on here later. Bottom line: HFCS is not natural and it is highly suspect in the rise of obesity. Please do not let them allow them, the Corn Refiner's Association, to alter the name to "corn sugar". What need would anyone have to change the name of something except to make the consumer believe they're not eating HFCS? It's deception plain and simple.
