February 13/Washington/Corn Refiners Association: John W. Bode, president and CEO of the Corn Refiners Association, has issued the following statement regarding recent New York Times and Washington Post stories:
"Recent articles in the New York Times and Washington Post confirmed what we have said from the onset of our dispute with the Sugar Association: The sugar industry initiated the attacks by launching a decade-long campaign to alarm the public and policy makers about alternative sweeteners, particularly high-fructose corn syrup. Among other things, The Sugar Association publicly promoted a study that it internally assessed as 'totally flawed.' This is a disservice to public health.
