Welcome to corn comments, I’m DaNita Murray, Executive Director at South Dakota Corn. We are brought to you by the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, a volunteer group of farmers who promote corn marketing in this state, the US and around the globe.
Recently, Coca-Cola announced it would make cane sugar sweetened pop more widely available in the U.S. HFCS has been criticized by the Make America Healthy Again movement. Companies make marketing decisions and consumers make choices with their dollars, as each should—however there should be no confusing marketing decisions with decisions based on health. A consumer who chooses cane-sweetened pop because they enjoy it more justifies the likely increase in cost for the product. But credible science shows no meaningful health benefit from switching between cane sugar and HFCS.
Stay tuned for perspectives on these and other issues from the Corn Utilization Council.
