With some food companies swapping out high fructose corn syrup for table sugar, there’s a big hullabaloo about so-called “natural” sugar gaining marketplace momentum. We’ve long held that it’s just a distracting marketing ploy, since the two sugars are nutritionally equal—a view backed up by nutrition professionals and even noted anti-food fanatics.
