New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof recently wrote that Americans need to cut down on sugary drinks and fired this broadside: "Our government needs to do much more to control potentially deadly substances -- plutonium, anthrax, and high fructose corn syrup."

Todd Seavey of the American Council on Science and Health shot back with a column headlined "Kristof Goes Berserk over High-Fructose Corn Syrup."
