"corn sugar" news and stories

Controversy is brewing this month in the mommy blogosphere over high-fructose corn syrup, after the website Mom Central, a marketing consulting group that arranges blog tours, launched a campaign on behalf of the Corn Refiners Association (CRA). Mom bloggers were lured by $50 gift cards and the opportunity to participate in a webinar led by paid consultants in exchange for creating HFCS-focused content that reflected typical CRA talking points. Mom Central's own website published plenty of pro-HFCS content as well.
