I saw a TV ad recently about High Fructose Corn Syrup that I feel is deceiving. The claims made in the ad are trying to mislead consumers about what High Fructose Corn Syrup is. The ads should be removed.

Ads on TV right now sponsored by the makers of High Fructose corn Syrups claim that “High Fructose Corn Syrup is Sugar.” But there is no evidence or scientific research that proves this claim. This constitutes False Advertising that is deceiving to consumers.

The ads on TV for High Fructose Corn Syrup are false advertising. None of the claims made in the ads have been approved by the FDA. The Corn Refiners are trying to mislead and confuse consumers about this product.
