So what could this mean?

This seems a lot like Pepsis way of admitting that HFCS may not be the best ingredient for their products no?

If this campaign does really well then what?  Will Pepsi revert back to natural sweeteners permanently?

With more and more companies starting to use a minimalist approach to ingrediants like Pepsi and the new Haagan Dazs 5, this might be exactly what our culture needs.  People are finally becoming more informed about the products they eat and starting to make smarter decisions.  I for one hope this trend continues.

If you were looking for another reason to avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup here it is.  Mercury!

You’re Kidding Me Right?!


You can’t get much more insulting to the intelligence of American people then to assume that they are incapable of doing one simple search on google for the dangers and complications associated with consuming HFCS.

Seriously, who are these commercials aimed at?

And does anyone else find it ironic that they mention sugar is safe as long as it is in moderation?  Pretty funny coming from a product called “high” fructose corn syrup.

Do a google search and see what happens.  Combine High Fructose Corn Syrup with any of these words and report back to me on what you get.
