There's an interesting idea in this article:
... and ideally removing fructose (the “sweet” molecule in sugar
that causes the damage) from the “generally recognized as safe”
list, because that’s what gives the industry license to
contaminate our food supply.
Ignoring the loaded language, does anyone know what the consequences of removing fructose from the GRAS list would be?

- derleth 14y agoIf fructose is removed from the GRAS list, that would imply fruits are no longer considered safe to eat.
- bcoates 14y agoDoes not being GRAS imply a duty to test edible plants for containing something? That seems difficult. Of course, it wouldn't be the first crazy regulation...
