I want to warn my friends..

There are several possible ways to get manufacturers to stop using fructose:
1. Legislation banning its use.
2. Litigation, preferably a class action suit, against manufacturers using it.
3. Marketing by a competitor that doesn't use it - "Never had it, never will" has been used as an anti-caffeine campaign for ginger ale, and something similar could be applied to fructose as well.
4. Change in relative costs making use of fructose more expensive than another alternative.

Manufacturers use it because doing so is currently a good business decision. Make it a bad business decision, and they will change.

Hey Howard good to hear from you. A Houle Makahiki Hou to you and Alice! I think your suggestions about legislation and advertising are very sound.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is an altered natural produce that is enhansed to be three times as sweet as sugar. Therefore it goes three times farther than sugar pound for pound. That makes it economically hard to beat. Until people tune into the health affects and make it known to the manufacturers including it in a product makes that product unhealthy, unappealing and unbought, there won't be the incentive to change. Too bad the media hasn't caught on to this yet so that people will start educating themselves to what we are eating.

Take care and hope to see you next winter on the Big Island!

Aloha,
