I was curious as to why there is always High Fructose Corn Syrup in use, in most beverages we find in stores, including juices... and was reading a book tonight that explained the answer.... I know its supposed to be a question, however, i know alot of people have been trying to figure this out, aside from myself.I was readingRevolution: A Manifesto,By Ron Paul (Republican Party president hopeful 2008..)And he was talking about some of the ridiculous trivial examples of government favoritism: sugar quotas.According to Dr. Paul: The United states government limits the amount of sugar that can be imported from around the world. These quotas make sugar more expensive for all Americans, since they now have fewer choices as a result of diminished competition. The quotas also put at a competitive disadvantage all those businesses that use sugar to produce their own products. That's one reason that American colas use corn syrup instead of sugarhe than goes on to write..)American sugar, thanks to the quotas, is simply too expensive. (And it's also a reason that colas in other countries taste so much better.)He than goes on to say:The number of people who work in the American sugar industry is of course very small when compared to the American population as a whole. How, then, did they manage to get a government policy enacted that harms the vast bulk of their fellow citizens? The answer is that the benefits are concentrated while the costs are dispersed. The small number of people who work in the sugar industry benefit substantially from the quota. It makes sense for the sugar industry to employ professional lobbyists first to get and then to continue this concentrated flow of benefits.____Interesting!What do you think?

high fructose corn syrup is the cheapest way to sweeten any commercial non diet drink.corn oil is also the cheapest way to cook commercial type food. i have corn food allergies. i am also allergic to wheat. that eliminates just about everything. corn syrup and corn oil are two of the worst things you can put in your mouth in my opinion.

Whitehar-I feel so bad for you. High fructose corn syrup was banned in Europe because of bad qualities. Our population in the US is getting too much of it. We have had it in our food for so long that most are unwilling to let it go. It is cheaper to use, but that shouldn't be the issue. It's gonna be hard to change, but it must be done. Write to your Congressman and ask for support of removal. Have others write. We need to ban together. Lobby-Lobby-Lobby !
