I don’t drink sodas, so I’m stupid. What the heck is HFCS?

Never mind. I just figured it out. High Fructose Corn Syrup. It’s in everything.

HFCS = High Fructose Corn Syrup = synthetic sweetener, uh oh, look at all the poo poo'rs & nay nay'r's up & jumpin', but yes, you have to make it using harsh chemicals in a , well, what looks like a little oil refinery.

Like most all synthetics, when they get into humans bad things happen.

With this specific synthetic, it disables Leptin, the hormone that tells you to stop eating and drinking (the "I'm full" feeling), and to make matters worse it increases the function of Grelin (gerrrrr, the I'm hungry hormone).

But wait, there's more, your tax dollars help this delicious poison "compete" in the marketplace, nice , eh?

Well, perhaps there's some good news, the word is getting out big time on this corpo-villain, there may be legal action akin to the tobacco circus.

But, then again folks still smoke.
