First, to give you relevance, for those of you who haven’t seen the ads or just have no idea what I’m talking about, here is High Fructose Corn Syrup Ad 1and High Fructose Corn Syrup Ad 2. It makes everything seem OK!!!

This what I was sent recently - High Fructose Corn Syrup Commercial (Spoof). It gave me a laugh, because it makes everything seem OK!!!

I’ll include this fourth YouTube clip - High-Fructose Corn Syrup Truth, Still Not Sexy, HFCS – because educate is always key. Watch all the clips and then you can make up your own mind … and hopefully laugh about it!

Let me know what side you fall on … sugar or HFCS or Nazi-ism!

I found this on WebMD in the article High-Fructose Corn Syrup’s Bad Rap Unfair?

Evidently, this conclusion was 4 years in the making. A panel was convened in 2004 and found that there was not enough evidence to support that HFCS is more likely to cause you to become obese any more than other sugars. I like the fact that at the end of the article, as if it’s a minor consideration, that it might have a link to causing heart disease and kidney disease. “Oh really! It’s like sugar (only not metabolized like sugar!)… effects my blood sugar levels… could give me heart and kidney disease… and still gives me all the wonderful calories I want to avoid… You’ve sold me!”

You may think I’m being a little unrealistic with this, but have you seen the latest marketing efforts for the HFCS industry? There’s a lot of money being spent in their Sweet Surprise campaign.

All I ask is that you keep an open mind about both sides of the evidence. This entry from CrunchGear may have you questioning the HFCS industry facts: High Fructose Corn Syrup mob tries to take down our own Doug Aamoth.

Let me know what you think: HFCS… safe? healthy? causes weight gain?
