Their arguments:

Made from corn (heroin is made from a plant too corn is a plant)

No artificial ingredients (it’s genetically modified corn, the bacteria and chemicals and pesticides which are used to make it are all natural??? Well, they come from the earth.)

Same calories as regular sugar (means nothing. Carbs=4 Protein=4 Alcohol=7 Fat=9 calories/gram. Are they just saying “Hey it’s not a fat.” to a person watching the TV ad drinking a beer and eating a hamburger, as if they care or even know about calories.)

Okay in moderation. (that applies to just about everything, doesn’t mean it’s healthy. the problem is with most people getting HFCS in half or more of what they eat, you can’t get it in moderation. That one glass of stuff she’s pouring probably has like 25 grams=100 calories=5% daily calories. good luck on the moderation)

I’m surprised the American Diabetic Association isn’t airing commercials against these to let American’s know how harmful HFCS really is. When I saw one of these commercials for the first time I wanted to scream!

Yup, I’ve made a conscious effort to avoid HFCS and I can feel the improvement. Much less lethargic and don’t crave sodas. In fact, I still drink a soda every now and then but only ones with natural ingredients and pure cane sugar. They are actually much tastier than Coke and the rest of HFCS cabal.

Paul-
Good point. It is in pretty much everything that comes in a wrapper or a can.

It’s too little too late. They will never recover from the impending consumer outrage when people really do get the facts about how unhealthy corn syrup is – in the quantities that are being eaten by the average person each day.

It is fine in moderation, that’s true. But you really have to watch everything you buy in order to make sure you are actually eating it in moderation.

Yeah, I have seen one of these commercials too and I was really surprised. They make it seem like HFCS is actually good for you.
