I have been studying the dangers of HFCS for some time. First I want to offer to all readers that this article is a summery of the Princeton findings not the empirical full blind and additional control factors data. So trying to find holes in the test from this very capsulated article are well, a big waste of time. I would like to let Ryan Times know, with no disrespect, that although this is not Oxford, Princeton’s science arm knows full well how to develop an impartial study test of chemical additives such as HFCS. So please… Economics may be the drivers of food manufacturers use of such a derivative substance, as well as government controls of imports, but science still remains science, and there are sound processes used in all such studies, further to this the peers of science, would ridicule any report just based on bad science, in the science journals as well as the dean of the school could come under ridicule and loss of his seat. That is why the word ‘published’ when used not by us who publish our opinions on the internet wherever we may is a much more vetted and serious matter when it comes to the big 10 or any University worth it’s salt when it releases a ‘published’ article of research findings. Further to this you don’t get recognized as a top medical and science University for taking short cuts or ‘fixing’ a test for results.

Now if you think Princeton might be capable of conducting such a controlled experiment then trust the data and take action to stop endorsing the use of HFCS in your Barbeque sauces, drinks, vitamin waters, Gatorade (for athletes, wow!) by not voicing your opinion to the makers, and start having it removed. BTW, Hunts Catsup has already removed it and proudly says so on it’s Catsup bottles. (I guess they didn’t believe those HFCS ads either). Oh and for the record to Mr. Ryan Times as I believe you mentioned you are from the UK. The British Government and EU governments have banned the use of HFCS as a food additive… hmm I wonder why? Perhaps the drain on their National health systems for obesity and cancerous tumors might be more important than allowing food manufacturers to use unnatural ingredients that are created as fuel additive byproducts in their citizen’s food supplies. Should our government not be doing the same? Thanks for reading.
