Why Not?

Why isn’t glucose quoted in any of the market reports? Because it is a fraud. It is a sirup extracted from corn by means of sulphuric acid. It is sold for table use, and is employed most extensively in making candy. Nearly all the candy made in New York and many other cities is composed almost entirely of glucose, and its detrimental effects upon the health of those who eat it is very great. That it is the reason that it is not quoted and is not sold for what it really is. —Rochester Heiald.
