In 2010, researchers at Duke and Johns Hopkins Universities, and the University of Colorado, published a study in the Journal of Hepatology, linking high-fructose corn syrup to the progression of liver scarring. Duke Medicine News and Communications issued a press release announcing the findings. The very next day, the corn industry objected.
The headline of the press release was changed from “High fructose corn syrup linked to liver scarring, research suggests” to “Fructose Containing Beverages Linked to Liver Scarring,” and some of the content of the article was changed as well.
But even the revised press release makes it clear the researchers continue to believe that high-fructose corn syrup is dangerous.
