If congress changed its diet of eating processed infant meat and drinking high fructose corn syrup directly from the bottle, it wouldn't but such a collective lazy ass.

If only al-Qaeda had carried out their initial plan to slather lower Manhattan in corn syrup, they would have created far greater death and devastation. In the end, the logistics of it were too daunting, so they just hijacked some planes instead.
Haha, you tell it, Biden! Though a terrorist attack can be frightening, your chances of getting killed in a terrorist attack during your lifetime is virtually ZERO.
The biggest step is using real cane sugar in mass produced products again. Pepsi made a product that switched the HFCS with Cane Sugar and it was amazing. The second thing is eating/drinking less of the junk food and replace the majority of that intake with veggies and fruits.
@charvelgtrs Actually it wasn't amazing, I've been drinking regular pepsi all my life, by the gallon. Regular Mountain Dew, Coke, Sunkist, you name it. There was no difference in taste between the regular pepsi and "real sugar" pepsi. And the calories and carb content difference is virtually non-existant. You people are idiots and you need to shut the hell up. They've got you so wound up about these lies you'd vote for hitler if he ran on the no HFCS ticket. Morons.
@CodeguruX The calorie and carb contents are the same because as far as chemical energy is concerned, they are identical. However, HFCS is extremely cheap so it is easy to over-consume, and it is a monosaccharide as opposed to a disaccharde (sucrose, lactose), so it breaks down quicker and causes more blood sugar spikes. Also, it leaves 10 times as many carbonyls in the body than sucrose, which increase blood acidity and are responsible for complications in diabetic people (ulcers, blind, etc.).
Just cause your alive at the moment doesnt mean you are in any means healthy, infact i would bet you very unhealthy.
Someone can smoke like a chimney for many years and not die, doesnt mean they are healthy and wont feel the affect soon enough.
Our bodies are amazing organisms HOWEVER if you dont take care of your body, EVENTUALLY it WILL give up and thats when your reality changes very quickly.
Just because you haven't gotten diabetes yet doesn't mean your immune to it. Besides, tongues aren't nearly as complex they seem. Sugar is sweet, and that's really the only way to describe it, regardless of whether it was made from cane or corn. Also, what's so idiotic about promoting a healthier system of food and nutrition for our country? It's kind of like wanting a more energy-efficient America, but, judging from your comment, I can already assume your opinion regarding that.
I disagree. There is a crispness to the flavor of the real sugar version. People get conditioned over time. To really experience the difference, make some real sugar cookies at home and compare them to the crap from the grocery store.
well by reading the responses on this video i can see why this country is headed for socialism and you folks voted it in now excuse me while i fight off this bottle of corn syrup trying to kill me.
@cupster07 Every year on average 70 Americans die from terrorist attacks. over 300000 people die in America a year from obesity related illnesses and the number one cause of obesity in America is the massive intake of HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!! now which do you think is more of a threat to the average America's life?
Oh, because we have cheaper and more harmful sugar in our food means the authority allowing it is trying to destroy us? As far as I'm concerned, over consumption of any nourishment will have bad effects. Maybe there are other sources that should be warning us about this stuff, but don't.
Please correct the headline for this video. I believe it should read: "Biden Says Corn Syrup and Coal More Deadly Than Terrorism". It is a minor detail but correct grammar increases the likelihood of being taken seriously.
Because in reality, he DOES support Big Coal, Big Sugar and Big Terrorism, all 3 of which without, he would not get any new golf clubs, trips to Hawaii or BMW's from special interest lobbiests, with terrorism being most significant with huge pirks & kickbacks from Lockheed Martin, KBR, Haliburton and other, more off-the-record military industrial complex infrastructure suppliers and corporations.
That's why Joe Biden he doesn't do anything about it, he's just another greedy sellout like Cheney.
I"m sitting here in a state of speechlessness. Did I just see and hear what I thought I did? I've never seen a politician tell the truth. Wow. So that's what it's like? I have to play it again.
@woadancincolours yeah, and see how he doesnt believe in govt regulation so that products are not protected when us the consumers consume them, because it would cost money -__- human security > profit
The only reason that food companies use corn syrup as a sugar substitute is because it is cheaper than sugar; and the only reason corn syrup is cheaper than sugar is because corn farmers are subsidized by the government ... also, watt for watt, solar power is less expensive than coal -- the catch being, the initial investment towards the infrastructure would make the overall cost more than coal ... what we need is an investment in our energy infrastructure and to curtail the corn subsidy ...
Nothing. Beause in reality, Biden DOES support Big Coal, Big Sugar and Big Terrorism, all 3 of which without, he would not get any new golf clubs, trips to Hawaii or BMW's from special interest lobbiests, with terrorism being most significant with huge pirks & kickbacks from Lockheed Martin, KBR, Haliburton and other, more off-the-record military industrial complex infrastructure suppliers and corporations.

@PresidentRich all right, this dudes a dumbass, talking about coal and terrorism is still a real threat to americans lives (maybe the ones invading and occupying their countries, committing war crimes, but i wouldnt call that terrorism, i would call that self defense.) that being said, he just informed you, what more should he do (in your opinion)?
@myleftnutts you should re-read and try to get a better understanding of what i was trying to say with what i wrote before you ask a question about it. but re reading it, it was a little confusing, so to clarity, what i meant was "americans", as joe biden probably called them, (which might have led you to assume he meant people from the united states, but probably isnt what he said), who are invading their (the "terrorists") countries and committing war crimes, lives might be in danger, but i
@PresidentRich NOTHING :D, even dumbest politicians (well except michelle bachman) are smart people, they know what all the shit does to us, what bankers do in wallstreet, but none of them cares, because they need those campaign contributions for reelection and those comes from big corporations not average joe, so guess who they will protect? :)
i told my doctor i stopped drinking soda and she said good because the acid in soda is worse than coffee and if u drink it on a regular basis it gives millions of americans early (like in their 30's early) osteoporosis without them knowing about it until later in life. it literally is like poring acid on your bones,
I stopped drinking sodas altogether. Haven't for a long time. I've occasionally, VERY RARELY, indulged, but that's it. I think I've taken the evil of this world and used it as an excuse to develop a moral backbone, and we all should. You could drink your own filtered water if you really wanted to. It truly quenches your thirst, and is far healthier for you than soda which is actually harmful (as is tap water, btw). Make the right decision today.
Fluoride can cause osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in both fluoride-treated male rats and boys under the age of 20 living in fluoridated areas. Osteosarcoma is a rare, but deadly, form of cancer that strikes primarily during the teenage years
See the Cancer section in the Health Effects Database at FluorideACTION . net for more info
I watched a video-documentary called "The Beautiful Truth" on Netflix the other night...shed a lot of light on the lies fed to us about processed foods, fluoride and lot more...really worth the watch!
CHEMRISK - a research company hired by the Corn Refiners has recently taken down it's YouTube page.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the high-fructose corn syrup ad campaign. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See the last remaining ChemRisk video at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
Well from my understanding on watching and reading about HFCS is that it does a few things that is bad. Some examples are that unlike sugar it doesn't tell the brain you have had enough(same reason they feed it to cattle until the come close to dieing) To me it would be nice to research and see just when HFCS came to market and when Americans became so overweight. Just wonder if there is a true correlation.
True on the cost and the out come with lobbyist controlling the outcome but there are studies that do prove the effects of corn syrup on the human body compared with natural sugar cane.
I have gone out of my way recently to almost totally cut out any products with high fructose corn syrup lately and in the last few months, in combination with regular excercise, have lost over ten pounds. Not terribly drastic amount, but I have no doubt that it will continue as I keep living healthy.
I do not agree with 90% of what the Obama administration does, but even as a conservative I can say I agree with Joe Biden on this one. I am for consumer choice, and the corn industry has taken away our choice to not eat unhealthy food by sneaking their high fructose poison into virtually every food on the market except for beans (and I'm sure they'll find a way to do that sooner or later, too). It's high time that Big Corn be held accountable for their greed!
Go and check fact on the impact of HFCS in our food supply the corresponding increase in morbid obesity and diabetes and coal hasn't certainly taken more lives than terrorist. Sure terrorism is a danger but how much of a danger has been blown out of proportion for business and political reasons.
I know many children who are damaged by mercury, we can't even eat fish because of mercury AKA coal burning releases mercury into the atmosphere then it gets concentrated in food we eat
Terrorism is a tactic you can't have a war against a tactic - Ron Paul
Coal is actually very likely killing more people than terrorism. Coal has led to lung cancer, asthma deaths, and mercury poisoning. (oh and climate disruption)
Shut down the coal and nuclear plants now, and let us sit in the dark and with no Internet, right? Hey Big Government, I want my free solar panels and my windmill!
Sit in the dark without coal and nuclear? You are miles off the mark with that. There are plenty of sources that involve neither coal or nuclear, which both have disparately fatal consequences when used.
Think Solar, Sugar Ethanol, Geothermal, Wind, Hydroelectric, and, of course, Corn Ethanols, after further development has occured.
Nick, don't forget about algal fuels! them too... plus no one is talking about free solar panels, although it wouldn't be unlike the government to build power generation systems for free (case in point: Hoover, Grand Coulee and Bonneville Dams). it's in everyone's interest we have a stable energy supply, it's simply a matter of national security.
it's also in our interest that it be renewable: again, a matter of national security.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Anyone who has studied to be a boiler operator as I have knows that coal fired plants have improved greatly over the past 30 years. Biden and Obama talk like it's still 1973 with the pollution problems but the fact is....coal is cheap, it is clean and it is plentiful. I wish these guys would update their playbook because most of what they say about coal plants is downright false and outdated! IDIOTS!Get with the times for crying out loud! I'm FAR more concerned about terrorist threats than coal!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Terrorism isn't an existential threat? They cost this country billions by taking down the WTC towers. Just a little bit bigger attack on Wall Street would make our current economic crisis look like peanuts. Not to mention they could kill millions not "thousands." Biden is dumber than a sack of hammers.
In the United States, 23,600 deaths each year can be attributed to air pollution from power plants. Those dying prematurely due to exposure to particulate matter lose, on average, 14 years of life. Burning coal also is responsible for some 554,000 asthma attacks, 16,200 cases of chronic bronchitis, and 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks each year. Atmospheric power plant pollution in the United States racks up an estimated annual health care bill of over $160 billion.
The question "what is more LIKELY to cause the death..." asks for a factual answer based on likelihood of those things causing a death. And as telephusion pointed out, you are more likely to die from coal than a terrorist attack. If you dispute this, or disagree with biden, you can really only argue your point on the plane of facts and probability.
What the country SHOULD focus on, is a different question, and the answer to which would be purely opinion.
who are these people dying by the millions? and in what "social" democracies? just a tad less vague? i just wanna know what you're talking about, you're so vague...
World Socialism is more deadly? Tell that to the Indians...
Only when threated by expansionist views, are the socialist (not communist) experiments really destroyed. Just ask Sweden, Switzerland, or Singapore...all very socialistic cultures.
There never has been a truely communistic movement that Karl Marx invisioned, save that for communes, & even they failed.
What you had instead was a perverted system that was based loosely on Communism called Stalinism, & other varying degree of it in various nations.
You cite Sweden as socialistic ? Funny since they was in bed with Nazi Germany, & to this date, refuse all efforts to turn over loot the Nazis his there in WW-II.
You have made some very accurate and telling comments on the dangers of continuing down the merry coal way. I live in western Pa and witness constantly the results of coal mining in the discolored acid streams which leach out of the soil and rocks all sorts of vile metallic pollutants. The scars left upon the landscape like strip mines and coal tipples are truly appalling. Coal needs to be consigned to the museum like buggy whips and child labor.
When you no longer have safe food or water to consume because they are loaded with mercury and other yummy good metals what would YOU do?
We could have been a lot further down the road to sane alternative power sources but thanks to that corrupt senile old fossil Reagan and all of the slugs that followed him, we are miles behind the curve.
If we had properly invested in R&D, this conversation would most likely be powered by the sun.
What you advocate is clean coal since I know you have done your research and realize that "alternative" energy that is anything other than Nuclear Power is a joke.
I have no issues at all with nukes, but to classify all other alternative power sources as a joke lowers my opinion of your veracity. What is the percentage of domestic energy generation from solar in Germany? Add to that, what is the latitude of Germany? And the climate of Germany isn't exactly the equivalent of the Sahara.
Wind? eh... Bio fuel? Better, but not corn based, that's a boon doggle aimed at Iowa caucuses voters. Geo-thermal? Great potential, little or no funding.
Clean coal? Not when companies can do this "Trading of credits " bull shit. There needs to be plain old CAPS on the amounts of mercury emissions permitted, and taking into account the toxicity of mercury, these limits should be very very low.
We have given every advantage to the utilities in the last couple of decades, from de-regulation to governmental candy store tax breaks, it is time for them to say thank you by ending the poisoning of our total environment.
I am coming up with prices of 22 Cents (American Dollars) Per Kilowatt Hour in my research.
By comparison, Americans pay on average about 10 cents per Kilowatt Hour.
So Germans get to pay double at looks like that is subsidized. Last month it was cold as hell and my power bill was $240.00 American Dollars ( I heat with electricity).
Sorry but I aint gonna pay no $480 bucks a month for electricity (even that price is subsidized by the german government)
Yo you crazy with your calculations Holmes. In Germany I pay, averaged over the year, 60 euros per month and I heat with electricity. Granted, a lot of that is because I don't live in an oversized cookie cutter house with really thin walls.
it wouldnt matter what i pay for my kilowatt-hour. What matters is how much i need to pay per month when it's cold as fuck. My electric bill doesnt give me that information, so i can't quote that for you. sorry.
Telling me how much you pay per kilowatt-hour allows me to compare what your government says your average KW per hour cost is VS what you are telling me it is.
According to your government, Americans pay less than 1/2 of what you pay.
It's broken down on your bill if you actually look at it, or are you a kid who lives at home and never bothers to look at his parents electric bill??
No, I'm not a kid, odd question coming from someone named jizzmonger. I'm sorry but my bill does not list what I pay per kilowatt-hour. My BG&E bill back in the USA, where I am from, did. But this one doesn't. It's a different system here. You are billed a certain rate per month based on the average from last year's total bill. But I can tell you, I pay less for electricity/heating here than I have anywhere else, and I've lived in 4 countries. And can you cite this source from "my" govt?
By moving beyond coal, the United States could avoid a legacy of smog-filled skies, acid rain, polluted waterways, contaminated fish, and scarred landscapes. This could each year save some 25,000 lives, reduce respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, avert potential neurological damage for 630,000 babies, and erase a health care bill of over $160 billion.
Wow, coal has been used for over 100,000 years, and now it's all the sudden a threat to humanity. Go figure, politicians using scare tactics to bring about horrible government policies.
Why is High Fructose in all of our food? Why is it so hard to find food without High Fructose Corn Syrup? Why is food without High Fructose Corn Syrup also listed as "All Natural" and cost so much more money? To be healthy and eat healthy you have to read food labels and spend more money. You pay one way or another either up front buying healthy food or as a co-payment at your doctors office.
TreeClimbingMan AKA Joey is leaving you tube because the corn industry is on his case about speaking the truth. The milk companies are also pushing him to close his you tube account. Sad, but true! You speak the truth your going to get squeezed off the Internet!
The 600 plus coal-fired power plants in the United States burn 1 billion tons of coal and release 98,000 pounds (44 metric tons) of mercury into the air each year. Power plants yield an additional 81,000 pounds of mercury pollution in the form of solid waste, including fly ash and scrubber sludge, and 20,000 pounds of mercury from cleaning coal before it is burned. In sum, coal-fired power plants pollute the environment with some 200,000 pounds of mercury annually.
Solid wastes from coal-fired power plants also contain heavy metals like arsenic, selenium, chromium, and cadmium; carcinogenic organic compounds; and radioactive elements. These toxins can leach into streams and groundwater supplies, compromising peoples health.
Other atmospheric emissions from burning coal include sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which in turn form ground-level ozone. SO2 and ozone are highly corrosive gases that cause respiratory distress and contribute to low birth weight and increased infant mortality. SO2 and NOx are also the primary causes of acid rain. CO2 is the dominant gas responsible for the greenhouse effect that is warming the planet.
Particulate matter from coal combustion has long been known to harm the respiratory system. Now recent research has shown that small airborne particulate matter also can cross from the lungs into the bloodstream, leading to cardiac disease, heart attacks, strokes, and premature death.
In the United States, 23,600 deaths each year can be attributed to air pollution from power plants. Those dying prematurely due to exposure to particulate matter lose, on average, 14 years of life. Burning coal also is responsible for some 554,000 asthma attacks, 16,200 cases of chronic bronchitis, and 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks each year. Atmospheric power plant pollution in the United States racks up an estimated annual health care bill of over $160 billion.
*** The largest source of mercury pollution is coal-fired power plants. ***
Airborne mercury emitted by these facilities is deposited anywhere from within a few hundred kilometers of the smokestacks to across continents, far from its source. Mercury then becomes the potent neurotoxin methylmercury which easily travels up the aquatic food chain, accumulating at higher concentrations at each level. Larger predator species contain the most mercury, which is then passed on to those who eat them.
One out of every six women of childbearing age in the United States may have blood mercury concentrations high enough to damage a developing fetus. This means that 630,000 of the 4 million babies born in the country each year are at risk of neurological damage because of exposure to dangerous mercury levels in the womb.
Compare the risks for yourself. 9/11 terrorism: approx 3000 deaths. Cause of Death // *Annual* Numbers of Deaths HIV Virus // 14,681 Homicide // 16, 831 Drug-induced // 18,443 Alcohol-induced // 19,086 Firearms injury // 28,839 Coal-induced illnesses // 25,100 *** Motor vehicle injury // 46,378 Heart attacks among non-smokers from exposure to tobacco smoke // 62,000 data is from US Centers for Disease Control & US Environmental Protection Agency
Wow -- it takes guts for a politician to tell the truth. Biden didn't waffle, he said something that could be misinterpreted -- and he said it clearly. He told the honest truth.

Just because you haven't gotten diabetes yet doesn't mean your immune to it. Besides, tongues aren't nearly as complex they seem. Sugar is sweet, and that's really the only way to describe it, regardless of whether it was made from cane or corn. Also, what's so idiotic about promoting a healthier system of food and nutrition for our country? It's kind of like wanting a more energy-efficient America, but, judging from your comment, I can already assume your opinion regarding that.

The only reason that food companies use corn syrup as a sugar substitute is because it is cheaper than sugar; and the only reason corn syrup is cheaper than sugar is because corn farmers are subsidized by the government ... also, watt for watt, solar power is less expensive than coal -- the catch being, the initial investment towards the infrastructure would make the overall cost more than coal ... what we need is an investment in our energy infrastructure and to curtail the corn subsidy ...

The 600 plus coal-fired power plants in the United States burn 1 billion tons of coal and release 98,000 pounds (44 metric tons) of mercury into the air each year. Power plants yield an additional 81,000 pounds of mercury pollution in the form of solid waste, including fly ash and scrubber sludge, and 20,000 pounds of mercury from cleaning coal before it is burned. In sum, coal-fired power plants pollute the environment with some 200,000 pounds of mercury annually.

Solid wastes from coal-fired power plants also contain heavy metals like arsenic, selenium, chromium, and cadmium; carcinogenic organic compounds; and radioactive elements. These toxins can leach into streams and groundwater supplies, compromising peoples health.

Other atmospheric emissions from burning coal include sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which in turn form ground-level ozone. SO2 and ozone are highly corrosive gases that cause respiratory distress and contribute to low birth weight and increased infant mortality. SO2 and NOx are also the primary causes of acid rain. CO2 is the dominant gas responsible for the greenhouse effect that is warming the planet.

*** The largest source of mercury pollution is coal-fired power plants. ***
Airborne mercury emitted by these facilities is deposited anywhere from within a few hundred kilometers of the smokestacks to across continents, far from its source. Mercury then becomes the potent neurotoxin methylmercury which easily travels up the aquatic food chain, accumulating at higher concentrations at each level. Larger predator species contain the most mercury, which is then passed on to those who eat them.
telephusion 3 years ago
One out of every six women of childbearing age in the United States may have blood mercury concentrations high enough to damage a developing fetus.
