    Have you seen the new corn syrup propaganda commercials?

    Ive seen now two of them in two days. Someone is offered something and the person says no thank you that has high fructose corn syrup. The person offering says why is that bad ? The person has a blank look on their face. Then they talk about how fine it is in moderation.
    People must be dropping their consumption of it, good fuck them.

                  Go go purple drank!

                  Wait, that's made with cane sugar or beet sugar.. People aren't drinking enough Pepsi!

                  On the other hand, if we deplete the corn syrup conglomerates, maybe that'll get rid of that fucking worthless ethanol additive.

                  If you look closely, his "clown shoes" ID has his old Arizona booking photo picture on it. Nice touch, that.

                                          They charted it and the growth of obesity in this country and the use of high fructose syrup are almost parallel.

                                                  there are a ton of other sources out there...

                                                  now, i dont believe everything i read, but i do know aspartame is found in a ton of products these days and so probably harder to keep intake down unless you are actually making an effort to...

                                                                          You're trying to tell me Aspartame is dangerous. You know what's dangerous? Being morbidly obese. Analyze that wording a little bit guys.

                                                                          No, I'd argue I'm far healthier than most people intaking high amounts of sugar. Period.

                                                                                                  A fatass isn't going to stop being a fatass just because they switch to diet cola; it requires a lot more than that - it requires a lifestyle change.

                                                                                                  So, if you're going to dispell my evidence, yous needs to be a bit better than 'hey i think I'm think and I don't have cancer'.

Also fooling your body/brain, you taste something sweet (180x sweeter than sugar) so your body thinks you are consuming sugar. Your body prepares itself but doesnt get any sugar. It fucks you up and makes you crave more sugar.

Once you get used to diet soda, regular soda tastes like syrup. You just can't drink it. So even if you never diet again, diet soda is what you'll be drinking once you acquire a taste for it.

After this, I can't really even stand non-Splenda diet colas.. I can taste the chemicals, and if I'm wasting 200 calories, it's not on a goddamn fizzy drink.

Once you get used to diet soda, regular soda tastes like syrup. You just can't drink it. So even if you never diet again, diet soda is what you'll be drinking once you acquire a taste for it.
                                                                                                                                  Once I got used to eating healthy as part of my daily routine, the idea of drinking any kind of cola or soda made me nauseous. Diet soda is definitely better than non-diet soda, but it's still sugary and chemically tasting swill. I prefer iced tea and water now.

                                                                                                                                                  Food is so cheap.

                                                                                                                                                  When my parents were kids the grocery bill was more than the mortgage....that's almost never the case today.

                                                                                                                                                  One of the reasons food is so cheap is farm subsidies. One of the biggest subsidies goes to corn growers. This made corn syrup cheaper to use than sugar, so food manufacturers started using it.

                                                                                                                                                  So while obesity and corn syrup are plotting the same graph....I think it's more for the reason that corn syrup made food cheaper and people started eating more of it....not that corn syrup is more "evil" than something like sugar or molasses.

Is so that they spend enough money in ad revenue that they have clout over the network if one of their news organizations digs up some dirt on them. It's a common practice. Remember those bizarre ads for the plastics industry?

MY mother said I dont know how families do it now its so expensive to shop. When you were kids , only your father worked and we ate 3 meals a day at home 7 days a week and 6 of those meals had meat. My mother said I dont know how families do it now.

So if you drink a HFCS beverage with a meal, your body will go into storage mode.

                                                                                                                                                                          They use it because it's cheaper.

MY mother said I dont know how families do it now its so expensive to shop. When you were kids , only your father worked and we ate 3 meals a day at home 7 days a week and 6 of those meals had meat. My mother said I dont know how families do it now.

As far as I know, no conclusive evidence has been found based on actual case study.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      It's a debate. Some studies showing adverse effects, others not. There's no difinitive answer in Medicine, and yet here you are telling me it's going to give me cancer.

Everything from Diabatese, to heart disease to high blood pressure and cholestory, etc etc. Not to mention the measurable decrease in quality of life.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      No, I'm sorry I'm not convinced. The average fat ass Pepsi swilling American would be doing himself a giant favour switching to Diet Pepsi.
