the farming industry needs to dump it into as any products as possible.....

Indeed. But it must stop. Especially in ethanol infusion into gasoline.

*cough* processed *cough*

brought to you by Big Processors Inc.,
yes it is not food

~~~

Agree

HFCS is almost as bad as bleached refined table sugar. There is no goodness of nature left from the plants left in them.
Similarly, the article tries to say that honey is worse because it has more calories by volume. So what!? Good natural (unprocessed and unfiltered) honey has lots of natural goodness, provided to you by your friends the bees.

I agree with you totally, I avoid HFCS and I lost a lot of weight and changed my eating habits. I specifically avoid it and I am not a sweet tooth junkie as well.

Doctor visit was fun after losing 50 lbs over a year, removing products with HFCS and eating only if hungry, eat less and watching sugars overall. He asked me how I did it and I told him about HFCS and avoiding it and reducing carbs and eating fruit versus other junk. They also in too much feed bad bacteria in your gut and they can be converted to alcohol by them.

Check it out, I am healthier in my 60’s than I was before and I will never go back

We all like sugar and that’s a problem.
Go on youtube and look at some videos of sugar processing
it doesn’t come like that from the cane.

I also watched some videos about England
and the introduction of processed sugar into their diet.
As a simple agrarian society their teeth were beautiful
but once processed sugar became available to the masses
the decay and tooth lose was horrific.

Fructose depletes your liver of essential copper that prevents an lethal inflammatory iron cascade.

“That’s why I sweeten my cofee with maple syrup - that’s good sugar!”

Have you ever tried palm sugar? Don’t know anything about it chemically, but it tastes very similar.

Ho, HFCS is not remotely the same as cane or beat sugar...

As one who is under doctor's orders to control blood sugar, I see them all as the same because I avoid them all regardless of the health benefits of one over the other.

They are all bad for you.. especially in the quantities of refined sugars you are exposed to in the western processed food diets of today.. but to claim HFCS is no worse than the others is a flat out lie.

Today’s strains of wheat is, of course, the REAL PROBLEM, but I agree, HFCS is not doing anyone any good either.

Notwithstanding the magic of Photoshop, she is 71 years old. The honey has crystallized.

Here's a picture without makeup:

Galactose is that stuff we’ve been importing from Alpha Centuari, right?
