What a wonderful article.

Is any of the hfcs made from genetically modified corn? It seems as if that would be the case, especially since 90% of corn grown in the US is genetically modified.

The agricultural industry is perhaps made up of people who have rocks for brains.

Most of the time we mix up economy and health. That sometimes our government would decide to promote products to save the economy and maybe a few people in exchange of the health of many. Hopefully we can solve the health problems as a health problem and solve the problems of economy and jobs with the appropriate solution without jeopardizing people’s health.

One correction that alters your last paragraph – the most delicious pork does come from Spain, but the pig is not fed an all-corn diet, it is fed an acorn diet – the nut of the oak tree.

And yes, the ham is delicious.

In Spain the highest quality pigs are fed with acorns, not with corn… Indeed, the production of corn in Spain is nearly zero, so it wouldn’t make any sense to import such a huge amount to feed animals.

I find all of this incredibly ridiculous. I am stunned at the fact that HFCS exploded the hearts of female mice. I feel like everytime I eat something with HFCS in it, my heart is in pain. But I’m a college student with no money, and I’m a female. Products with HFCS in them are much more affordable. How do we know that foods without HFCS on the lable are telling the truth? A company can list a product as having 0 trans fat if the amount of trans fat is under a certain measure… America runs on money but thank God for the internet and Oprah. I think food companies know that Americans are generally stupid and use our dumbness to get as much money as possible.
