RE: Barry Popkin: Why the World Is Fat - FYI

[Guest guest]

When reading the part about how food companies have silently been reducing

sugar, etc, in their products, I remembered that a few months ago, I read a

coca cola label and they had sucrose listed as an ingredient. That's right

-- No high fructose corn syrup. Has anyone else seen that too?

Interesting. I wondered when sucrose would come back in place of corn sweetener.

The price of corn has been driven up dramatically because of ethanol production.

Don't get me started on how foolish it is to turn our food into auto fuel! The

producers will use the most cost-efficient sweeteners available, or the

ingredient demanded by consumer spending. I suspect the cost is the primary

factor in the change.
