High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes More Weight Gain Than Sugar

[smileyman]

This thread is corny.

However, I like sugar colas better than HFCS colas. It is the HFCS that makes me drink my whiskey straight anymore.

Or how about spending some money improving the shitty food they serve at school cafeterias?

Quoted for truth. Nothing more to add.

Are you serious? Try this...no high frutcose corn syrup..

Tuna
Eggs
Cottage Cheeze
Rice
Pasta
Fruit
Vegetables
Chicken
Beef

I could go on......The problem is if someone only likes sugary shit, he will that is the only thing available.

If you want something sweet use Dextrose, Maltodextin or Stevia.

The government is not responsible for making rules and laws to protect you from yourself. You have the information, you can control what goes in your body. If you think it's a serious health risk, then don't consume it. Pretty simple.

Amen brother!

BTW, potatoes are not "bad" for you unless you're a sedentary person who never exercises, in which case they can lead to weight gain because they're fast-burning carbs. Sweet potatoes on the other hand, don't burn nearly as fast, and are actually quite good for you.

Potatoes are GREAT post workout. BAKED potatoes.

I thought I liked that throwback pepsi better with actual sugar. you really can tell a difference.

this doesnt surprise me though, isnt HFCS a synthetic sweetener? I've long believed natural shit is 100% healthier than that absolute shit synthetic sweetener.

Umm NO.

you wish it was that simple . foods that are only "sugary shit". time to wake up.

if you have never left the country, chances are you have NEVER eaten beef that was not raised SOLELY on, you guessed it..... C O R N.

most chicken, easily accessible, fed C O R N

even though this story in the OP is about HFCS - the REAL story is a bit larger. corn is used for EVERYTHING. HFCS is the widest used, nastiest culprit.

take a look at this and tell me if these ingredients look at all familiar to you:

You don't shit it out whole. It's just the casings of the kernels you're shitting out. The stuff on the inside is absorbed and used by the body.

Why do I know that?

Aquapython already covered this, so yea.

101, dude, I thought you were supposed to be some sort of nutrition expert...you mean to tell me you didn't already know this stuff?

[Homeslice]

So, you guys are going to avoid eating chicken, eggs, and beef, simply because those animals eat a lot of corn? Please.

If so, then go right ahead and eat seafood for breakfast, lunch, and dinner........And die of mercury poisoning instead

Jesus, and you guys give ME a hard time for whining about cancerous grilling hydrocarbons
