Haven't they tried to change the name of this, or label it differently, a number of times now? I seem to recall reading that they'd been shut down when they tried this before. Then again, as times change, it may have been in a different country where they were shut down and I am just combining the two in my head...

Google isn't being all that helpful but I'm pretty sure I recall this very same story from a few years ago. A part of me wants to think it was a Cracked article which would not surprise me as they're often rather (surprisingly so) well researched and factual.

Either way, as a rather anti-regulation type of person, I'm quite pleased when I see my government actually doing the job they're supposed to be doing. While I may not agree that we should, as a society, need the protection we do actually have the FDA and if we're going to have the FDA then they may as well do their job right.

Sam Malone: Mexican Coke is an amazing thing

Their soda ain't bad either.

ChubbyTiger: Those tariffs are only to protect the American sugar cane growers from rapacious foreign nations like Jamaica.

What a keen idea. Saves American jobs.

Could it be applied to manufacturing?

HFCS isn't really that much unhealthier than sugar. Regular sugar is just that unhealthy as well.

It's the fructose, people.

HFCS by any other name is still as sweet

Glucose, C6H12O6 is THE ONLY form of sugar you body can use in metabolism.

It tastes bitter, not sweet.

ALL other forms of sugar cannot be "burned" by your human body. They are converted directly into fat.

That is correct kiddies, "o-calories" is just a lie to get you to buy poison and IT MAKES YOU FAT!

KatjaMouse: You Farkers want a real tragedy? Tequila makers are losing their agave sources because farmers are opting to grow corn instead because it's a cheaper crop and they can sell it for ethanol.

Good, whiskey is AMERICAN!

I don't think there's a true sentence in that post. That's a pretty impressive achievement.

You seem to have achieved complete ignorance. Impressive. Go play your fiddle.

"Glucose is a ubiquitous fuel in biology. It is used as an energy source in most organisms, from bacteria to humans. Use of glucose may be by either aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation. Glucose is the human body's key source of energy, through aerobic respiration, providing approximately 3.75 kilocalories (16 kilojoules) of food energy per gram.[4] Breakdown of carbohydrates (e.g. starch) yields mono- and disaccharides, most of which is glucose. Through glycolysis and later in the reactions of the citric acid cycle (TCAC), glucose is oxidized to eventually form CO2 and water, yielding energy sources, mostly in the form of ATP. The insulin reaction, and other mechanisms, regulate the concentration of glucose in the blood. A high fasting blood sugar level is an indication of prediabetic and diabetic conditions.

Glucose is a primary source of energy for the brain, and hence its availability influences psychological processes. When glucose is low, psychological processes requiring mental effort (e.g., self-control, effortful decision-making) are impaired."
It's Wiki, written at your reading level.

shivashakti: Good! Nice to see the FDA isn't always going to do whatever big business wants them to do.

So whar the shenanigans we all know are hidden somewhere?
What slipped under the radar?
Must have been some tit/tat.
