Is HFCS “Natural?” Court says it’s up to FDA
June 19, 2008
A federal judge in New Jersey rejected a complaint against Snapple that its claim to be “natural” is false because the drinks contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and HFCS is no way “natural.” If the FDA won’t decide what “natural” means, we certainly aren’t going to , says the judge. So, FDA, how about it?
Unfortunately, FDA doesn’t do what it should until there’s a major crisis.
But I don’t think it’s all the agency’s fault. It’s been underfunded and undervalued for decades, and now we’re asking it to do even more with less.

What does it matter?
You have said, it is all about calories. And people who consume too many calories are weak-willed, or they are uninformed and ignorant.
