re: #111 Dr Lizardo

I’ve heard that, but I don’t know for certain whether that’s true or not. A lot of Europeans have said to me that the use of HFCS as an additive or ingredient is banned in the EU.

Actually, it’s limited by production quota, according to this. But I also think a lot of Europeans would balk at buying anything much containing it.

“In the European Union (EU), HFCS, known as isoglucose in sugar regime, is subject to a production quota. In 2005, this quota was set at 303,000 tons; in comparison, the EU produced an average of 18.6 million tons of sugar annually between 1999 and 2001.[38] Wide-scale replacement of sugar with HFCS has not occurred in the EU. For labeling purpose, syrup with more than 50% of glucose, like HFCS 42, called Glucose-Fructose Syrup(GFS), and more than 50% of fructose, like HFCS 55, called Fructose-Glucose Syrup(FGS), although production within Europe is minimal.”
