Don't watch TV much but just saw some ads on the food network that blew my mind. Its using typical adspeak to make High Fructose Corn Syrop sound just as "healthy" as sugar.

... but hfcs is "JUST" as healthy as sugar.

Sugar is half fructose / half glucose and is also incredibly bad for you. :)

I noticed a serious flaw with their campaign, most people will associate themselves with the dummys that know nothing about hfcs and will probably end up researching the truth about hfcs, at least I would hope so.
