High Fructose Corn Syrup is not natural says FDA

While music to our ears, this is sure to cause a firestorm of opposition from HFCS proponents. In essence, what the FDA is saying is that HFCS should be treated as an artificial sweetener (as it should be). It is prepared from a high dextrose equivalent corn starch hydrolysate by partial enzymatic conversion of glucose to fructose using synthetic fixing agents.

This is one time we can say way to go FDA, too bad it came twenty years or so too late!
