Yes, Thank you Dee.  I follow your postings but I was simply 
overwhelmed with the traffic on the Organic yahoogroup that I've not 
been able to devote the time to sift through so much. However I do 
appreciate what you do, and your thoughtful replies. You've helped me before.

I appreciate "organic practices" and "avoiding the use of anything 
unnatural". I was specifically pondering the potential issue of HFCS. 
The organic position that all artificial feedings are to be avoided 
is understood, and certainly can get you a higher priced and superior 
product from a specific target market.

I guess the issue is the relative badness of the different sugar 
feeds, and whether HFCS is detectable specifically.

Folks, this HFCS issue isn't going to go away. It could have an 
impact on our sales, and more importantly, if HFCS is generally 
considered unhealthy by the marketplace (rightly or wrongly so) then 
it's NOT going to help the reputation of honey.
