I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way; good to know. It's funny how she said that it's made from corn. Anyone can infer that. What they don't infer is the unnatural process that is used to convert corn starch to HFCS. I mean, do you see commercials toting trans fats saying that it's made from vegetable oil, and therefore it is okay for you? It definitely wouldn't surprise me after seeing the HFCS commercial.
