Pretty soon we will all have the same thing to eat for each meal of the day, seven days a week. That is, unless you work for the government.
I’ve always said HFCS was evil. Regular natural sugar doesn’t have near the bad effects.
People think I’m crazy, but obsessively reading ingredients labels has prevented me from buying hfcs-included food.
This stuff, hfcs, is in damn near everything!
I am sure High Fructose isnt good for you, But the main problem is that plenty of folks will grab a donut and a 48oz coke for breakfast..
Duh...
I see people gobble up cookies that say “FAT FREE” and they wonder why they have a weight problem.
I remember in my 20s I decided to give up soda. I used to drink about 4 Cokes or Pepsis a day. I was slim anyway (5’4”, 120) but when I gave up the sodas I dropped 5 more lbs immediately.

Mase, please pick up the red courtesy phone.
This article may pique your scientific bent, after all, you are constantly poo-pooing we who have suspicions about HFCS.
HFCs stared in 1957
Three bowls of rice a day should do it. Maybe on Sunday we can have a little gravy over it.
too much rat food causes obesity, too
and it sure must taste like c-r-#-p
Rat studies are problematic. For all we can tell from this, the HFCS may appeal far more to the rat sense of taste than does sucrose (to humans the two have approximately the same flavor). Also can rats efficiently digest sucrose the way humans can?
Oh, And, Obomba will make sure everyone has a rice cooker!

You will learn to enjoy your quota of rat food and table sugar, comrade!/s;)

Actually, the factual information about high-fructose corn syrup has been out and publicly available for a very long time. It’s nothing new.
The problem is, just like sugar it is included in all kings of foods you wouldn’t normally expect to find it in, like soups and yogurt.

Yes Mother Superior. Just don't send me to one of those re-education camps. [cowering in the fetal position at the feet of Mother Superior, trying to stop a yet non-existent whipping.]
I agree, HFCS is NOT fit for human consumption !
I personally need to be very careful in order to keep my triglycerides down. On the drinks I consume it is either water or cold green tea (not Lipton but Itoen from Japan). Breakfast is fruit and nuts (not the California type LOL), lunch is a small meat, salad and dinner, I try to have some fresh fruit, a different type of salad.
Before last Summer, I did all sorts of sweet drinks and other crappy foods. I also had a high blood pressure issue and high cholesterol. In mid May, weather got nice and I started to do biking and cut the drinks and sugared items. I got rid of 25 lbs and at the end of the Summer, my cholesterol went down from 238 to 172. I also dealt with fatty liver as well. If you do a Google search on the terms of : “corn syrup” and “liver” and there are many references to liver damage and liver like a liver of a drinker.
What I understand HFCS is processed differently by the body versus regular sweets. Nasty stuff and we should not be listening to the Corn Syrup lobby. I would not be a bit surprised the corn lobby push Congress to keep sugar prices high.
