FOOD NEWS: A Conversation with "King Corn" Filmmaker

Part 1: A conversation with filmmaker Curt Ellis about his new documentary "King Corn", the film that may open eyes across America. Surprisingly, corn is present in some form or another, in almost everything on the American plate. And, none more so, than through the food ingredient "high fructose corn syrup" (HFCS). Is it a good idea to have "HFCS" present in so many of our foods without prior public debate, or adequate science to measure its impact on the long-term health of adults, and especially our children? Should our standard meals be unnaturally skewed toward a corn based diet, in the first place? This interview, along with video clips from the documentary, may not provide the answers here, but it's a good beginning for further thought and reflection. What do you think?

@capnvideo2006 High fructose corn syrup in Coca Cola only has 5% more fructose than normal sucrose (cane sugar). The high fructose corn syrup added to most solid processed foods has 8% less fructose than cane sugar. Fructose is only poison to a human body in excess, as is water, or basically any other compound.

Poison and GM Poison too... it's a double whammy. And Monsanto is at the top of the pile of dead bodies...

@capnvideo2006 fructose = not poison, natural in diet, especially as it occurs in fruits and vegetables

high fructose corn syrup = poison

iam i food technologist and a animal sciencer in brazil, and all i gotta say is: even meat and milk and eggs and other kinds of food are based on corn. it has a good a bad importance, let's see both sides of it's opinion. what amercans must see is that politicians are introducin all they want in theirs head. Look at France. They r changing theyr contry, building a nation

@dancar Thank you...the notion that fructose is inherently poisonous is absurd; it occurs naturally in most fruits. While I'll admit that the quantity of sugars(HFCS, cane sugar, beet sugar, sucrose, fructose, etc) is alarming and HFCS and the food system surrounding it is responsible for all sorts of ailments, don't go off labeling a molecule poison when you clearly don't know the biology and chemistry behind it. Please do more research first...
