Hold me back



This is one of times when my wife has to hold me down and prevent me
from blowing the stack. These commercials are the height
of deception. The First one says "Well you know what they say about it"
No Response. Here is what is being said about it:

obesity and high-fructose corn syrup. The increased frequency of obesity in the US is paralleled by increasing annual consumption of high-fructose corn syrup, an extracted sweetener that is routinely added to soft drinks and to many processed foods in the US diet.

This is not my opinion. This is published on pubmed.gov (A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine)
You can read about by going to this web address: http://tinyurl.com/685pyx

Also take note, the ads are sponsored by (this means paid for by) The Corn Refiners Association. So whose best interest
are they going consider. Yours? I doubt it. They try to portray this substance as if it is natural. Corn is natural. Once it is
refined it is no longer so. High-fructose corn syrup does not occur in nature so it is not natural. It is refined.

This type of commercial propaganda really pisses me off because it preys upon the masses and tells them that
something is harmless when that's not true. How do they sleep at night?

Last point of my rant: They say it's fine in moderation. The challenge is it's everywhere. The next time
you go to the grocery store read your labels and you'll be astounded at how many items contain high-fructose corn syrup.

More on this another time.
