A strange part of this story with regard to the banning of a food stuff product by Russia, which is heavily consumed within the USA, i.e. A huge proportion the GMO Corn varieties is being synthesized to HFCS through an industrial biochemical process and is found in so much food consumables that it is actually quite hard to avoid (there is even controversy even in informing consumers as to foodstuff which originates from a Genetically mutated intellectual property Patented source) is that the story has received virtually no amount of attention by the media. Normally these type of media stories are jumped on with nationalistic furore and indignant outrage.

Another question is for example, does the BT toxin remain intact throughout the synthesized HFCS process??

And to re-iterate once again, the only economic justification for these Monsanto GMO products to even exist in the first place is down to economic trade sanctions on Cane and Beet sugars and Government subsidy by the US funded tax payer as the vast majority of GMO corn production is processed into synthesized sweeteners.

GMO Corn production is a solution to a problem that only exists put there by the US Government.
