I don't think you can be objective as you represent the group that gains the most from the production of HFCS. And a lot of money it must be if your organization can afford a staff person to post comments on obscure blogs like mine. I did read the USA Today article you linked. And I'd be curious to know who funded the research studies it discusses, I'm a big believer in following the money. I have a hard time believing that the timing of this "research" is unrelated to the campaign. Plus I'll quote from the article: "there's some evidence that the way they are metabolized in the liver is different". That's enough evidence to keep me from consuming it or giving it to my family.

I'll check out the Delphi group. Annika had another bad reaction, they're clearly getting more severe. MLO, thanks for stopping by :). I’ll check out the Delphi group.

In any effort to eliminate a corn allergy in a young child - possible if not anaphylactic - it wil take total avoidance. The best place to learn about this - and keep up with the ever-changing ingredients, labeled and unlabeled, is to join the Delphi Forums' Avoiding Corn group http://forums.delphiforums.com/avoidingcorn/messages/?start=Start+Reading+%3E%3E V and others on the forum are a godsend in keeping up with hidden corn especially.
