Sugar reform could be a sweet deal  

An Iowa State University research study asserts that reforming federal sugar subsidies could save American consumers up to $3.5 billion and generate 20,000 net jobs each year. The study was commissioned by the Sweetener Users Association and conducted by John Beghin, professor of international agricultural economics at Iowa State, and Amani Elobeid, a senior analyst at the school. The study projected future prices, employment and other variables if current federal sugar policies were done away with or reformed. For more information, click here.
