The use of the term “all natural” should have strict, if not stricter rules than usda organic, how can something be considered a natural product when it is loaded with unnatural ingredients? Why is the gov’t so lazy about protecting our health? There are more and more children and adults with food allergies and autism than ever before in the past. Couldn’t possibly be linked to the chemicals that have replaced our nutricious food, could it?

Thank you so much for speaking out about these ridiculous ads! I was very angry the first time I was watching TLC and one of those commericals came on. I love the ad from the mom telling the actual truth about High Fructose Corn Syrup. I also laughed when I saw the part about in moderation, because I too know that it is in EVERYTHING!!! Thanks for your hard work!

Those commercials make me laugh! Put ME on there and I won’t stand there going, “Duh, um, uh” when someone asks me, “So, what IS so wrong with high-fructose corn syrup?” Sure, it’s made from corn, big deal. Splenda is made from sugar, but it’s a synthesized chemical. Both are artificial and unnatural.
