"At MRC there was a chemist, by name
of Martha Jones, who was not working for Coke, and who was
instrumental in developing a lot of these new products that
MRC was so innovative about. She has been called by many
in the industry, the Mother of HFCS. And she made sure that
this product was up to the specific levels of each of these
franchise firms and that [corn syrup] could be used interchangeably
with sucrose."
