I totally agree.It probably causes many other problems too.It should be banned along with alot of other junk they are "allowed" to put in food and drinks etc.However the FDA has become so pathetic I doubt it will happen in the US soon.A number of other countries are usually ahead of the US in matters like this.Heck I remember when most products actually contained natural ingredients for the most part.--And those products were better in EVERY way.So I don't buy the "phony" reason that you need junk ingredients to make things taste better.It is the opposite.
And now they even have those damned commercials supporting the safety of high fructose corn syrup on US television!! Down the drain we go.
Do you seriously want the government to tell us what we can eat and drink? I'd rather injest corn syrup than inject my teen age daughter against an STD that may or may not prevent cervical cancer. ONE LESS! I want to be one less individual that buys into all marketing. And that includes Global Warming, meat, and corn syrup. I want to feed my family what I feel is right without higher prices and being made to feel guilty.
'News report in the Roman times'... 'Lead in wine has no ill effects'. It has nothing to do with the truth, only what the special interest's version of the truth is. The truth is greed and it always has been.
