According to The Wall Street Journal, the Corn Refiners Association, an industry group led by ADM and Cargill, is launching a big ad and public-relations campaign today.
Their goal? Convince Americans that high-fructose corn-syrup isn’t the evil it has been made out to be.
The group is running full-page ads in more than a dozen major newspapers around the country saying its product is no worse for you than sugar. And what an argument that is. I’m sure they’ll go far with that pearl.
