When the HFCS was created, corn was corn. Simple corn. Tested safe.
Now that corn has been bred for ethanol gas and then that was used for HFCS, was the safety retested?
But then corn was rebred to be immune to Roundup and then used to make HFCVS, was the safety retested?
Then corn was rebred to be immune to pests and then used to make HFCS, was the safety retested?
