Would high fructose corn syrup by any other name taste as sweet?

This one is mostly for Sarah and Alicia, my anti-HFCS darlings, but others might get a kick out of the "not-so-invisible-hand" at work: 'Corn Sugar' Producers Hope You'll Buy The New Name.

Would "high fructose corn syrup" sound so sweet by any other name? The Corn Refiners Association sure hopes so. Last week, the industry group applied to the federal government for permission to use a new name for the ingredient on food labels: "corn sugar."

HAHAH! Sneaky!
