Didn't we have a bill like this before? We couldn't find any evidence that HFCS was actually hazardous so we voted it down. I wanted to ban it at one point. Tongue

Can someone clarify whether there's something inherently dangerous in HFCS, or if it's a high-quantity danger?

From what I've read, your body does not treat sugar any differently, whether it be cane sugar or corn syrup.

There is a legitimate scientific debate about it.

There are all kinds of studies, but nothing is concrete enough to warrant putting warning labels on foods claiming it is hazardous to your health.

It would be shortsighted to sign a bill like this with the debate still out on whether HFCS is actually dangerous. We might as well put a warning label "sugar is dangerous for your health" on all foods if we are going to do this, and any reasonable person should know that.

Vote for eliminating subsidies? I would not be opposed to that either. We are already inflating the price of corn as it is.

I seriously hope the senate doesn't pass a bill based on inconclusive scientific facts. Seriously guys. We are basically saying "I don't care if the facts don't line up with my opinion, we're going to do it anyway."
