"...Alison Kretser, a registered dietitian and director of scientific and nutrition policy for the Grocery Manufacturers of America. Its members include The Coca-Cola Co., Kellogg Co. and Sara Lee Corp.Oh yeah...theres an unbiased source. She undoubtably advocates aspartame...which is illegal in many countries. And is heavily used in the USA.

This just proves how advanced our society is. We developed an ultra-efficient and extremely cheap means of delivering maximal calories + fat storage to humans in edible doses. Yay for Western civ!

I don't know about this "fructose" theory, but having canned foods like peas and corn include sugar (which many do now) is kinda stupid, IMHO.

This is bunk. The real reason is Nonfat food which fooled American's to think they could eat as much as they wanted and not gain weight. No fat does not man No calories. I have seen this over and over. I lost 135 lbs many years ago drinking diet Pepsi all the way through it.

The debate over high-fructose sweeteners centers on how the body processes sugar. Unlike glucose, a major component in table sugar, fructose doesn't trigger responses in hormones that regulate energy use and appetite. That means fructose is more likely to be converted into fat, the researchers said. Which is why Jolt cola rocked. Nothing but pure cane sugar until recently. Now it may or may not contain High Fructose Obesity Syrup. If they would drop the High Fructose Obesity Syrup I'd buy the stuff by the crate.
INGREDIENTS: Carbonated Water, Sugar And/Or High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Caffeine, Citric Acid And Natural Flavor.

What's really funny is how "reduced fat" foods (salad dressing, for example) replace the fat with sugar or HFCS. Fat people trying to diet just get fatter.

a sudden increase in the rate at which obesity has been galloping forward." This is Fat Horse, a Blackfoot warrior and your educational nugget for today. There was potentially a great graphic in the phrase "obesity galloping forward," but alas, this was the best "fat horse" image that Google could come up with. Maybe next time. |

I have no idea why we are producing so many double-wide kids.
When I was in H.S. (mid 70's) we had all the snack food machines and so on. The major problem was tooth decay.
The cafeteria served foods that could only be described as fattening. The bad kids ran off to the local Dairy Queen and ate even worse stuff.
Yet most of us were not grossly overweight.
Of course, the lifestyle was different then. 3 boring TV channels. (Let's go out!) No Internet, no video games, no VCRS, no couch-potatoes. Maybe that had something to do with it.

"Body weights rose slowly for most of the 20th century until the late 1980s," Bray said. "At that time, many countries showed a sudden increase in the rate at which obesity has been galloping forward." Hmmmmm......right after the Old Coke - New Coke - Old Coke event. New "Old" Coke is sweeter than old "Old" Coke.

Yeah, same thing for adults. When I got married at 25 I got a "real" job (IT field) and beefed up while flying a cubicle.

The sweeteners are also cheaper to produce and use in food manufacturing than cane and beet sugars, the study noted. Natural sugars would be a lot cheaper if Big Stupid Government didn't put tariffs and subsidies on it to prop up their C&H and ADM "donations"/payoffs.
Big Stupid Government steals from us in so many ways, and the Republican Party refuses to even begin to move on getting rid of most of it. They talk a big game to get votes, but why are we paying far above the world market price for sugar?

Splenda is kicking major butt. :) Yes it is!! Splenda is wonderful.
I was watching TV last night and an ad for Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice came on. I've seen the ingredient label on that product. Water, HFCS... And it's loaded with calories. If they'd dump HFCS and substitute Splenda, they'd dump most of the calories, too. And I doubt many would notice a change in flavor.

Gee, it's a strange thing, but I've noticed when I eat too much and don't exercise, I tend to gain weight.....who knew? lol
To: upchuck
They have already done it. 40 calories a serving. 25% juice and sweetened with Splenda.
They call it Ocean Spray Light and they have it in four or five flavors Cran-grape is my personal favorite.
They also have one sweetened with NutraSweet. Ack! Phooy! Horrible stuff. Who ever came up with that one should be forced to drink a couple of glass of the junk.
