High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a highly processed sweetener and preservative, is manufactured from chemically altered cornstarch. Does that sound natural to you? It does to the FDA, which recently reversed its original stance (from April 2008) and ruled that products containing the sweetener may be labeled “natural,” since synthetic agents used during processing don’t actually come into contact with the corn syrup.
MY COMMENT: Huh?
