News flash : CRYSTALLINE FRUCTOSE comes from corn syrup. whaaaaaa? Isn't crystalline fructose just a healthier sugar in our new favorite soda alternative - Vitamin Water?
Well as word gets out about the dangers of corn syrup and how it has become the evil of all that is sweet- it seems manufacturers need a replacement, one they can use before people get wise again. Here is the description of crystalline fructose from the sugar producers themselves:
"crystalline fructose is produced by allowing the fructose to crystallize from a fructose-enriched corn syrup.”
Um. Hello. That sure does sound familiar. Fructose enriched corn syrup - doesn't that sound a lot like high fructose corn syrup. Since I always encourage people to do their own research --here is an intelligent person speaking on the differences between HFCS and Crystalline Fructose. Now you be the judge.
I'm thinking -- Vitamin Water isn't looking so vitamin-y anymore.
