Does "corn sugar" sound healthier than high fructose corn syrup?

Neither does refined cane syrup crystals.

Why not get back to good old fashioned unprocessed sugar cane?

this is a stupid argument. Why not complain about sugar from beets or cane?. This is strictly the lobbyists fighting among themselves to win at the counter and we are the suckers falling for the trap. Take everything in moderation and not to excess.

They better not allow this change.! High fructose corn syrup is the #1 cause of IBS irritable bowel syndrome. I cannot have any products with this, so if they change the name I will get very sick if I consume this.

there are people out there allergic to corn... my fear is that they will one day be allowed to call it just "sugar". HF corn syrup or corn sugar- it still needs to be listed for people with food allergies. Also wondering if undiagnosed corn allergies might be part of the discrepancy in the findings as to whether HFCS is different from beet or cane sugar- in someone allergic to corn the allergy will present at bloating, inflammation, digestive upset, etc. hmmmm...

No it doesn't. I always crack up when I see that commercial. Do they really think WE think sugar is good for you?

well then i just wont buy any thing with corn sugar in it now that i know it is actually high fructose corn syrup. I hope they wont pass it but atleast i know it's the same thing now

Researchers have proven that its impossible to loose weight if you consume fructose corn syrup!

You can do anything you wish concerning drugs, food or drink if you lobby aka bribe the FDA because its the government way! If you want to keep up with FDA crimes check out naturalnews.com..................

Nah, the government subsidizes corn growers, so they really won't see a huge cut in profit. About 90% of corn grown in the US goes to feed factory farmed animals.

Don't you all people wonder why the FDA doesn't ban food coloring,HFCs,monosodium glutamate, partially hydrogenated oil, it is the cause of the American people illness .obviously the FDa is getting paid to let all these food companies sell their poison. Certainly , what a terrible job they are doing and now they want to ban innocent vitamins off the shell .

Leave our vitamin alone !!!!!

I really "like" the products, as I was reading one today, that said the ingredients were: "HFCS, corn sugar, sugar, water..."

It is such a huge issue because the corn farmers could see a serious cut in profits if people stop using their cheap HFCS to sweeten almost every product that comes in a box, jar, or can. Fructose is only utilized by your liver, and your liver metabolizes right to fat and to other compounds that cause increased inflammatory processes in your body. In this way, fructose directly leads to increased weight gain as well as heart disease. The protective part of a fruit are not the vitamins and antioxidants mentioned in this article. Instead, it is the fiber that makes the difference. Fiber binds fat in your intestines and allows you to eliminate it. Your body balances this out by making fat out of fructose. Whenever you have fructose without the fiber, you are encouraging weight gain. And remember, a sugar molecule is made up of one part glucose, one part fructose.

It is despicable what the corn industry is doing to fool consumers. Corn sugar is not like "regular sugar." Your body DOES know the difference, and it is much more unhealthy for you.

Oops. I mean HFCS.

I don't care. I still eat foods that have hcfs.

There already is corn syrup and corn sugar on the market. It's Karo. Regular corn syrup is mostly glucose. Corn sugar is that but dried out and crystallized.

So I take it the margarine industry has also applied to call their product butter, right? It's a more extreme version of the same tactic.

The FDA better not allow that name change. That would just carve it in stone that they're working for big food businesses and not the actual health and protection of Americans.

I have read that hfcs does not tell your body that you have had enough to eat, so you just keep eating and eating. Then, it causes an insulin rush. But since hfcs does not use insulin, it causes you to have all that insulin left in your blood, which then causes you to eat again to get rid of the insulin. It makes you eat and eat and eat.

^ Of course you do, Poison. It is hard to avoid hfcs these days. Bread, dressings, ketchup...it is everywhere.

No, it doesn't sound healthier, hence the word SUGAR. It's not good for you to eat HFCS or corn sugar, by either name. Steer clear of food containing this!
