Some of the products sold as honey have been bulked up by sugar, water and corn syrup.

They then fed some rats on GM corn, fed others Roundup itself in the water and a small number were fed on non GM corn and fresh water.
On Tuesday, the U.S. government said close to 10.0% of Iowa's corn crop is water-logged.
Mr Rich had brought along some samples of his new invention, a concoction of soy-oil shortening, isolated soya protein, corn syrup and water, in the hopes of persuading them that this could taste as yummy, and whip as lightly, as heavy cream.
Weather isn't just about what to wear, although that matters, but about livestock: hay supplies, feed and corn, deicers and water flow, shelter from the wind and wet.
Made from corn, it takes so much water, energy and land to produce that its environmental benefits are dubious.
Cargill's NatureWorks division deploys bacteria to turn corn into a biodegradable plastic for water bottles, clothing and food packaging.
As well as the more well known mills using water wheels, such as the one that stands as an ornamental feature at Llangollen restaurant, the Corn Mill, and the historic Rossett Mill, there are clues that water power has been harnessed elsewhere.
Some things are OK. Corn starch is often used to get water off a coat, and that helped on a rainy Monday as dogs piled into the halls on the Hudson piers for early judging.
Substitutes could be far cheaper than ears of corn--they require less attention, water, fertilizer and pesticides.
Stir in the corn, beans, wine or vermouth, water and 1 teaspoon salt.
The biomass power station would burn rubbish, animal manure, woodchips, seaweed, corn stalks and other wastes, to heat water to create steam to turn turbines to produce around 300 megawatts of electricity.

Demand for corn is such that more land is also being ploughed up in drier regions of the Great Plains states to the west of the corn belt, where irrigation in required, increasing water demand further.
For example, how many gallons of water and fossil fuel does it take to produce and transport one gallon of corn-based ethanol?
This will most likely entail increasing the corn ethanol mix in petroleum, running up food costs, depleting water supplies, and causing environmental land damage while affording no net CO2 emission reduction.
Further, corn-based bio-fuels used in transportation consume much greater amounts of water than does the drilling for traditional oil.
