Image Proposal

I believe that the current image of a tanker is inappropriate for this article, considering that the main image of an article is supposed to display the subject (in this case a syrup). I would like to propose either an image of the syrup itself, such as this, or an image of the formula of glucose and fructose, such as this. These were the best images I could find within the Commons. I will leave some time for protest, after which I will go ahead with replacing the image. Shirudo talk 07:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go with the chem box. Gandydancer (talk) 11:49, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The tanker is far more representative of what is important about HFCS. Perhaps a photo of an overweight diabetic patient, as well? 87.74.72.226 (talk) 14:30, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nutritional value box broken

Currently the nutritional value box makes the hilarious claim that HFCS is sugar-free. Can someone fix that? "sugar=76 g" is corrected listed in the source code. Somehow the nutritional value template is rendering it incorrectly. Anonymous.translator (talk) 06:38, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
