Whoa, seems someone didn't spend enough time in Chemistry and Biology class. If I remember correctly, you described how they make HFCS, Which is they make corn starch, then from that make corn syrup, extract glucose, and add enzymes to make it fructose. Now, where in that is there any Synthetic Ingredients added? The Enzymes? Well, I think not, seeing as the enzymes exist within the human body to do this very same thing, convert sugars. So, where is it Synthetic again?

@teheskEMO Ok- you're right...it's really good for you. you can have mine.

WHAT A STUPID BITCH. Her premise is that since it's made from corn you shouldn't eat it because things you can't eat are made from corn? What about corn itself you dumbass? Idiots should've stayed in school.

[GusBulltamer]

You are either watching a different video or an idiot. That's not her premise at all. Her point is that by the time HFCS is turned into "food", it's barely corn anymore.

TOBACCO is good for your LUNGS

These commercials make me sick. Even aside from the fact that it's a load of crap (for all of the reasons stated in your video), these commercials are so unnecessary! Like the Corn Refiners Association doesn't make enough money already? Are they trying to get more people to eat more of their nasty product? How is that necessary? When they say fine in moderation, what they really want is for people to just eat it whenever b/c they know there is no such thing as moderation when it is in EVERYTHING

@teheskEMO Regardless it is syntehsized and your body can't properly break down HFCS and just makes you fat unhealthy, and prob causes cancer... not to mention they poison it with mercury... so go ahead glug that shit down!

I read more than a few publications that HFCS suppresses leptin, a hormone that regulates energy intake and expenditure, appetite and metabolic rate. I don;t think sugar does that. Has anyone ever measure insulin response and blood sugar level when compared head to head? Everyone reacts differently but on average the HFCS causes greater spike in insulin with high blood sugar levels.

That's all I needed to know to avoid the stuff.

@GusBulltamer Yeah, um, I don't know, but it seems to me that the smart choice is to avoid ridiculously sugary things like cola.

You know, rather than just eating whatever the heck I crave and then looking for a scapegoat like HFCS to blame for my being fat....

[NRen2k5]

@GusBulltamer I love how you have this crazy false dichotomy: Either it's bad for you or good for you.

Uh, no. How about HFCS is bad for you, but only about as much as any other sugar?

[NRen2k5]

@footboydl Sure lots of people take the issue seriously, but that doesn't mean they know what they're talking about. If "all I need to do is open my eyes" then why are you avoiding even trying to explain it to me?

I know a few facts about HFCS:

- I've heard about the mercury contamination - but then I also know it's not a huge problem.

- I've heard about the liver damage, but then I also know that only 30% of the population is susceptible to it and honey could do the exact same thing.

So yeah.

[footboydl]

@NRen2k5 Lots of people take this issue seriously. There is proof all around you. All you need do is open your eyes. There's a plethora of research on this subject. Stop being the Corn Refiners Association's bitch and wake up to reality. Living in a "fucking fantasy world" means ignoring the facts and supporting the side of evil out of ignorance or perhaps because you have some financial interest in this poisonous crap.

[NRen2k5]

@footboydl No, you don't have to prove anything. Nobody has to take you seriously after all. I love how it's somehow fine for you to bullshit and I'm a dickhead for calling you on it. You're living in a fucking fantasy world!

[footboydl]

@NRen2k5 First off, don't call me a cocksucker you ignorant asswipe. Second, I don't have to prove anything. Just keep eating and drinking it since you love it so much that you feel the need to defend it and be a dickhead in doing so. You'll see your own proof. And I'll sit back and laugh.

[NRen2k5]

@footboydl Sad, really sad.

[NRen2k5]

@footboydl Prove to me that it's poison, cocksucker.
