Hello Newman
I got into a fight with Paul Newman today. Well, not with Paul Newman himself, he's much too old and frail, but with his company Newman's Own. I have loved these products for quite some time and was supremely disappointed when I discovered (or rather was enlightened - my mom told me) that their "all natural" lemonade has high fructose corn syrup in it. Umm....excuse me, but can you show me how you made that naturally? High fructose corn syrup can be very harmful to your liver, and heart, and can prevent your body from developing what it needs to hold itself together. Since I like my body in one piece I decided to write Mr. Newman a letter. Really...is it necessary to deceive consumers by making your "all natural" lemonade with corn syrup? I think not. Any more of that behavior and you will be receiving more nasty letters from the likes of me. Take that Mr. Newman!

You cannot escape high fructose corn syrup...give in...accept the harmful effects...understand that soon even bottled water will contain it.

If you look at the USDA regulations for advertising as "All Natural" the requirements say that only 70% has to be "all natural." It's deceiving but at least you're not eating 100% processed. Even if something is dubbed as "organic" it's probably only about 90% organic. True Story.
next you guys are going to tell me there is high fructose corn syrup in my favorite drinks, like Coke and Hawaiian Punch.
What I want to know is... who the heck is Kurbis, and why is he in love with high fructose corn syrup? And you know what I say to the USDA...I say, "Tighten your regulations and requirements! If something is not ALL natural, it's not ALL natural!"
I buy Newman products, too, because as you know, they're quite tasty. But I noticed on the packaging of some of my favorite cookies that they were only 70% organic. I'm assuming the other 30% is the high fructose corn syrup and possibly a few artificial colors they threw in. :) I'm glad you wrote old, frail Paul a letter. He deserves a good scolding!
You drink high fructose corn syrup...you get a night in da box.
Hey now, I AM who I AM...get it? I don't love it...i have just accepted that the neo-corpratists have taken over every aspect of our lives and will stop at nothing less than poisoning our bodies and our souls with their fascist brands of sweeteners...damn them.
