The pressure to avoid HFCS-laden packaged food products
seems to have prompted the makers of HFCS to get more
aggressive in their "message marketing".

Here's their website:
http://www.sweetsurprise.com

Where you can find ads like this one:
http://www.sweetsurprise.com/printads.php?filename=HairdresserMagazineAd.pdf

which says, among other things:
"Truth is, high fructose corn syrup is nutritionally
the same as table sugar and honey."

The website also points you to:
http://www.hfcsfacts.com/

Which points out that the FDA is willing to let HFCS be called
"natural" as in "a natural sweetener", stating:

"HFCS is made from corn, a natural grain product.
HFCS contains no artificial or synthetic ingredients or
color additives and meets the Food and Drug
Administration's requirements for use of the term 'natural'."

Funny, I kinda thought that they needed a few enzymes and
chemicals to make HFCS, and that none of them were
"natural" in name or origin.

Now, how long before they mention their product does
not have any of the miticide residues known to have impact
on hive health, or the trace-level pesticide residues some beekeepers
keep pointing to with accusatory fingers, despite the lack of anything
consistent to point at?
