In this podcast, Steve Ebke, a farmer from Daykin and member of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, discusses the recent petition to allow the use of the term "corn sugar" as an alternative name to high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).The Corn Refiners Association filed the petition with the Food and Drug Administration.
Ebke noted that the Corn Refiners Association believes the change would help bring some clarity and emphasize the natural similarity between HFCS and sugar.
"While the name change makes sense, I also want to remind you that HFCS has been shown time and again to be no different than regular sugar," he said. He refers people to www.CornSugar.com for more information.
