WE HAVE TE POWER to read LEBELS an stop buying products whith hfcs,I did it.

[FridayNightFistfuck]

"It has very little role, I think, in the American diet" ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I REFUSE TO EAT HFCS, AND EVERYTHING CONTAINS HFCS! They want you to feed into the fucked insurance and healthcare scam by becoming reliant of their services. End of story.

yeah,a little bit like Adam and Eve that ad is

@jupitersbride LOL, no it is not 100% fructose

If you don't even know the basic information concerning this subject you need to shut your trap and go read

[sajfen]

@jupitersbride HFCS 55 is the most commonly used variety, its 55% fructose and 42% glucose. I have seen that lecture, twice. You should too if you think it's about the dangers of HFCS compared to normal sugar.

[jupitersbride]

@sajfen Not true at all. Table sugar = 50% glucose + 50% fructose; HCFS is 100% fructose. Glucose and fructose are processed very differently, particularly by the liver, which has a complicated biochemistry. Watch the YouTube video of Robert Lustig MD's 90 minute lecture given at UCSF Medical Center in 2009 for more info.

@demomanchaos Large amounts of fructose are toxic to your liver whether it comes from corn or not, and whether the corn is GMO corn or not.

[jupitersbride]

All sugars are NOT the same. Fructose is a heavy load on the liver; processing it makes toxic byproducts that interrupt other metabolic processes. While no sugar is good for you, HFCS is 100% of the worst kind. The food industry has gone to it as the main sugar additive in processed foods because it’s cheaper. While fructose is the sugar in fruit, humans are not designed to consume it in such concentrated form, and without the corresponding fiber and micronutrients found in whole fruits.

I would rather die in an instant fighting for my life, than die from neglect over a long period of time. If we aim to destroy the environment and ourselves in the name of profit, than may as well commit suicide with a nuclear war. No one should have the right to patent the blue prints of life, if it takes a war to reverse the decision of the US supreme court, then so be it. The flood gates were opened in 1978. Do some research, Jimmy Carter... you did nothing to stop this.
