Corn refiners association commercials

Have you seen  the new commercials defending high frutose corn syrup? Looks like all the  criticisms are finally causing a response from the Corn Refiners Association industry.  In the commercials, the actors  opposed to corn syrup can never really explain why, and the actors defending it, do so with some seemingly straightforward facts. Basically, they say 'corn syrup has the same amount of calories as sugar.' This is true, but incredibly misleading.On my June 11th  high fructose corn syrup article, you can see some reasons to oppose it, and how reasons to support are not so simple, as the comercial  would have us think.
