Holy shit, is this crap in everything over here? Since coming back to visit last week my wife and I have found it almost impossible to avoid it. Granted we have deliberately been eating alot of stuff we normally wouldn't, but I'm amazed at how much of it there is. Talk about screwing with your digestive system! It's even in the cough medicine I took yesterday! It's almost as bad as how much MSG there is in food in Britain.
Yes. And one of the reasons that there is so much obesity here;

Still, maybe with the introduction of Ethanol fuel, maybe the corn lobby will quit bombarding the American public with this evil product. Then again, this is America where nobody can be too greedy.
Even with us that are carefull in what we eat and dont touch junk foods its hard to avoid some of the shit they put in foods nowadays .

I get so pissed off with big studies that say something "may" be the cause......And pigs may fly!
The title of the report is:
"Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity"
Logically, it means that they didn't eliminate it as a cause; or are they using a mealy-mouthed way of trying to say there are positive indications that it might be a cause?
Good point although this doesn't sound good:
"The digestion, absorption, and metabolism of fructose differ from those of glucose. Hepatic metabolism of fructose favors de novo lipogenesis. In addition, unlike glucose, fructose does not stimulate insulin secretion or enhance leptin production. Because insulin and leptin act as key afferent signals in the regulation of food intake and body weight, this suggests that dietary fructose may contribute to increased energy intake and weight gain."
I've been mostly keeping away from the stuff for a while. The only pop I drink really is Fresca because everything else has it in. I think Twix doesn't have it but most bread has. Now I make my own bread so I know what goes in it.
If you live near the Mexican border you can pop over and buy Coca Cola made with cane sugar. Proper job that is grin

It is used because it is cheaper than sugar.

You can try the kosher Coca-Cola too, apparently that's made with cane sugar too.

It's only cheaper than sugar because the government fixes the price of sugar, at the behest of ADM and others of that ilk.

Are the massive portions that the porky natives shovel down their big fat gullets.
