I’m guessing most of us didn’t know another name change took place quietly in the greedy food industry!
I admit I didn’t know this! (I’ll get to the change in a minute)
Dr. Mark Hyman states high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a killer. Since we humans started consuming it:

Just about every pregnant woman is told to supplement with synthetic folic acid rather than the natural form folate. This is alarming and is impacting the health of the generation of children being born right now. ~Sarah Pope
Approximately 40% of women carry gene variants that can hinder the last step of the conversion needed to break down the synthetic folic acid found in fortified foods, boxed cereals, and supplements. Its presence in the modern diet is likely contributing to many of our modern diseases. …
There are a lot of kitchen basics I learned before I was married! Yes, I learned much in my mom’s kitchen. Then once I had my own family, I had to develop my own sense of timing, style, order, and a recipe repertoire.
