Teens Talk High Fructose Corn Syrup

The Corn Refiners Association has released another commercial in its multimillion-dollar ad campaign for high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). This time, two teens sit around the breakfast table with one questioning the other's choice in cereal because it contains HFCS. Keeping with the campaign's theme, when asked why high fructose corn syrup is so bad, the other teen is speechless.

The ad campaign is primarily targeting mothers with the CRA spending between $20-30 million for the 18 month advertising blitz. The commercials are causing heated debates online among parents with very few defending HFCS. Visitors to About.com have plenty to say on this topic as well.

"If folks would just eat in moderation like they’re suppose to, no food would have a bad reputation," member Brittany told About.com.

"High Fructose Corn Syrup is far from that yummy vegetable, corn," member J.S. said. "We’re back to 'Have a cigarette…it’s good for you!'"
