New York to Ban High Fructose Corn Syrup?

New York State Assemblywoman Barbara Clark proposed a Bill to ban high fructose corn syrup! Wow!!

The Bill is generating opposition from the Corn Refiners Association (go figure!), claiming HFCS is no different than sucrose. FYI: Not true…

Also, they claim that healthy, high-fiber foods and dairy products are more ‘palatable’ when HFCS is added. Question: Isn’t the addition of ‘sweetening’ foods the reason why why we’re in this mess (e.g., childhood obesity)…

Here’s part of the Bill:

The bill states: “By prohibiting the sale, storage, distribution, or use of food products made with HFCS, this bill will help to decrease the incidence of diseases related to HFCS consumption and will promote public health.”

Would love to hear your thoughts!

In Health,

lifeinpixelation answered: I would definitely support this bill as a NY citizen to be (2 months!). I’m tired of picking up stuff and seeing HFCS in everything.
myquirkylife said: I completely agree with the fact that we shouldn’t be consuming HFCS…BUT I also see these as “nanny laws”…parents hsave to take action for sake of their kids, as well as school officials…people need to be educated in the matter I think….
