Aim to combat the technical pigments
The initiative of the Trump Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), which took its name from the social movement that is in line with Health Minister Robert Kennedy Junior, has pushed food companies to change their compositions to remove ingredients such as components.
Kennedy has also criticized the amount of sugar consumed in the American diet and has stated that up -to -date dietary instructions this summer will advise Americans to eat “complete food”.
A May report by the Maha Commission, a group convened by Trump and tasked with detecting the deeper causes of chronic diseases, said that significant consumption of high -fructose corn syrup could play a role in childhood obesity.
Medical experts recommend limiting the added sugar to the diet, but have not identified significant differences between sugar cane and high -fructose corn syrup.
Reacts corn producers
Corn producers who are gathering in the US Middle Ages have long been a significant influence on legislators in Washington. The state’s state, Florida, is the largest sugar cane producer in the country.
“Replacement of high -fructose corn syrup with sugar cane does not make sense”said President and Managing Director of the Corps Refiners Association John Bond.
“Replacing high -fructose corn syrup with sugar cane would cost thousands of American food production, reduce farmers’ income and boost foreign sugar imports, all without any dietary benefit” He said characteristically.
