High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes More Weight Gain Than Sugar

[Homeslice]

Are corn subsidies bullshit, yes, should they be reconsidered, definitely.......But that is only 20% of the problem. The other 80% is consumer laziness and/or ignorance. If you have half a brain, when you become an adult you will know how to eat properly. For those who DONT have half a brain, fuck em.

I mean serious......Does every food you buy HAVE to have tons of cheese, salt, sugar, and white flour?

If you can read well enough to finish high school, you can read the fucking ingrediants.

Homeslice. Watch that video that Sean posted:

(Yes, it's long as hell, boring at times, but it's the final word on ALL of this, with all of the science checked backwards, and forwards to back it up)

It's not the fat, the cheese, the salt, or the flour...it's the fructose. It metabolizes very much like alcohol (ethanol), exclusively in the liver. It does not tell the brain it was fed (bypasses leptin), actually MAKING you hungry and is...in a word; TOXIC.

I also defy you to find more than 3 breads in your supermarket that DON'T have HFCS added. It's in nearly everything, and unless you become a fucking food freak, you'd be hard pressed to avoid this shit entirely.

Haven't watched the video yet.........But if fructose is so bad, where does that leave fruit? Are we supposed to quit eating fruit from now on? Please.

And none of the bread I buy has any HFCS. I either buy bakery stuff, (i.e. what the store made themselves), or one of the more expensive brand-name breads ($3 instead of $2, whoopdie-do) that uses honey, brown sugar, or rice syrup as the sweetener. And those are mainstream brands too, they're in almost every store.

that is covered in the video also.

For the umpteenth time, stop trying to shoot down research you did not even read or watch.

No, because fruit (like most other whole, natural foods) has the "antidote" built-in. Watch the video, it explains it all.

I just finished watching the video.....every last second of it.

He closes his presentation (which is very VERY convincing, by the way)..by saying:

"The FDA can't and won't regulate fructose. It's up to us." (~1:27:00)

Personal responsibility.....right?

That'd be great, if every time I tried to educate someone they didn't start screaming "COMMUNIST COMMUNIST" at me and trying to burn me alive.

Seriously, you can't teach people shit. I bet you most of America still thinks you can get AIDS by kissing.

Yes, in circles. I'm in the "personal responsibility" camp. What about you?
