See New York Times Article About High Fructose Corn Syrup

Now that I’m back, several people have pointed out this article to me — thank goodness I didn’t miss it! At present, I’m catching up — yet again, I have more, very pressing book deadlines — and therefore I’ll comment about this later, when I have a moment.

For now, though, this article about HFCS appears to be very well researched, and I am a big fan of reporter Melanie Warner. In fact, I’ve greatly admired her work in the past.

While it’s very clear that Melanie raises some very, very good points, I’m inclined to think that I have some issues with this story’s conclusions.

After I’ve had a chance to review this more thoroughly and to go back and look at some HFCS studies, I’ll make more informed comments.

For now, I can safely say that I can cite other studies which Melanie doesn’t mention, which suggest an altogether different conclusion — that we should, in fact, be wary about HFCS. I’ll write more later when I have some time.

Right now, I have deadlines to address a copyeditor’s many queries on my manuscript for SUGAR SHOCK!
