no detail too small to consider

The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America earnestly informs us that "Glucose-isomerase [one of the enzymes required to make HFCS] in particular is a highly specialized and
expensive production process and there are not many companies
that produce it. As far as we know there is no company that pro-
duces it that is not kosher certified and pareve."

That may have been true in 2005, when it was written, but I suspect it no longer is, unless the
Anhui USTC EGIBIO Biotechnology Co. in Fuyang is kosher certified. They began offering it for export to the US in 2007. This is a side tangent that I really don't need to be sliding along, but I know that the Nutrition professor is always worried about what ingredients come from China - there's no way of knowing from looking at the ingredient list on a packaged product. (in case you're curious, almost all the Thiamine and Riboflavin in enriched flour in the US comes from China. The Niacin comes from Switzerland).

Perhaps the point should be to eat "food" rather than those chemical conglomerations sold in fancy packaging in the supermarket. It's so much easier to know what one is eating ; )
