1. hmmm. Wonder what the sweet food mfrs will do to counter this????

Have you seen the TV ads they have been showing that try to say that HFCS is just the same as sugar..so why be concerned?

8. Can we get a class action going on this?

Every American citizen born in the last 50 years would be a party to the suit. We'd need to bring back Carl Sagan to count all the billions and billions involved.
