Question
Q: Does High Fructose Corn Syrup contain GMOs?
A: Some high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is made using corn produced through biotechnology. It depends on which type of corn is delivered to the various production facilities. However, research demonstrates that HFCS made from biotech corn is essentially the same as HFCS made from conventional corn. Furthermore, the genetically modified DNA or protein is degraded during the process that breaks corn down into HFCS, which makes the genetically modified DNA or protein undetectable. Crops modified through biotechnology may also be used in the production of beet sugar. The use of gen [...]
