Imagine living in a country where such practices are acceptable. Here in Oz, we have either 'maple syrup' or 'maple flavoured syrup' to avoid confusion.

On a related note, Captain Morgan is labelled 'spiced gold' down here as it doesn't meet the legal requirements to be labelled 'rum'.

Slightly OT, but do you upside down people have the radio commercials with like 10-15 seconds of really fast talking at the end? In the US you have to provide disclaimers in order to avoid false advertising trouble. But there doesn't seem to be a restriction regarding how fast you say it.

In the USA it is illegal to call something "Maple Syrup" or "Honey" if it isn't. Thus, you end up with "Maple flavored syrup" and "Honey blend" both have HFCS. Even "spring water" is a protected name and the water must never be filtered or adulterated.

Of course, there's big money in strait up fraud. Like honey that gets filtered of all pollen and still called "honey" when it is no longer honey once it has been filtered. Maple syrup fraud is nearly as bad, but honey fraud takes the cake.

Nah, we have pretty strict truth in advertising laws. No caveats, no excuses. The only time you get a verbal blurb is when the federal election is on and they have to announce who authorised each ad. It's so people have someone to hold legally responsible if an unfounded claim is made, ie 'Malcolm Turnbull loves Muslims because Australia's grand mufti supplies him with 14 year old girls".

Under the Trades Practices Act, you can't even legally advertise, say, "cola brand X in the big 2-litre bottle" because it Amy imply that your 2-litre bottle is bigger than others'.

I'm conflicted about it because I'm a libertarian at heart but my interests have been protected by the TPA on many occasions.

Holy crap. What >>9482334 said.

You do realize the whole hubub about HFCS is that fructose may be metabolized differently resulting in even higher incidences of metabolic disorders, right?

Corn syrup is mostly glucose. Not saying it is healthy but it is VERY different from HFCS.

[Anonymous No.9484536]

>>9482334
>>9484481
It's not really that different. The process of fructolysis is pretty analogous to glycolosis. It hasn't really been shown that fructose is worse for you except in some study of already overweight patients using fructose sweetened beverages. Artificial sweeteners have been shown to worsen digestion already bad diets.

Honey has a similar makeup to HFCS anyway. HFCS is similar to table sugar (HFCS 55/45 fru/glu versus 50/50 cane sugar). Fructose is used more often because it is sweeter you need less of it.

It's all fucking sugar, get your WebMD momscience out of here.
