OMG! They had the nerve .....

lmao @ this one. Not only is it corny but it's false advertising.
There is nothing safe about that stuff, my body still has a very hard time if anything I eat has it in it.

that was amusing on a very twisted level though

Wow.

Interesting choice on ethnicities for the women.

What next...?, One-A-Day Aspartame Flintstones Chewables, and Splenda-dipped pacifiers for our infants....

Holy crap...

Eh it figures they would try making people who question the FDA out to look like conspiracy theorists. Conspiracy theorists are NUTS and people who eat what the corporations are selling without concern are INFORMED. The sad thing is that most people won't even get it, and then when they hear about high fructose corn syrup, they'll suddenly remember the commercial and go "You're crazy. It's made from corn."
Heroin is made from poppy seed, but I wouldn't suggest using heroin to flavor our foods. As long as the majority is misguided, there's no stopping these criminals

That was too good to pass up. Star for you.

does anyone have some good reliable links telling the true dangers of corn syrup? i don't mean to be "one of those" skeptics, but i'd like to read some more about this from some decent sources. i'm certain this stuff is bad for you, but i'd like to know why exactly. thanks!

EDIT: lol i just noticed the woman says there're no artificial ingredients in high fructose corn syrup... isn't high fructose corn syrup itself an artificial ingredient? lol incredible...

I believe the simplest way to describe the health effects of HFCS is that it is a blend of fructose and glucose. Natural sugar comes in the form of sucrose, which is a molecule of fructose and a molecule of glucose bonded together. When sucrose is present in your system your body excretes sucrase in order to break it down. This initiates a digestive process that involves insulin and produces a reaction that fulfills hunger.

When you eat fructose sucrase is not released, hunger is not fulfilled and is messes with insulin production.

That's the jest of it, I may be a bit off.

Way to go again Karl. Every nutritionist today will tell you to avoid anything with the high fructose corn sugar in it to avoid like the plague. I haven't touched soda for three years. Except for an occasional seven up. Never had any never did...can relate...just kidding.

The baby water was a great touch. No, I never got the raucus for reasons I'll you too about. Sure did want it though. S and F nice job.

That's some interesting stuff here. Thanks for the information. I was clueless about HFCS, and I'm from the corn belt. I also work in the agricultural industry...so I guess I'm part of the problem, not the solution, huh? Gotta love ATS!

Being conspiracy minded myself, I can see how, in the big picture, some could see a grand plan by big corporations, the ag industry, pharmaceutical co's, etc...to reap huge profits at the expense of America's health. Although, I do agree most decisions by most entities are economic, I can't swallow that, in this instance, it is done with malicious intent, and part of a huge conspiracy. But, who knows, and who could ever truly find out? Then again, EVERYthing has a side-effect, and hopefully, HFCS, if it is so bad...will be "discovered", with credible research, and eliminated from the food chain.

Remember, DDT was the single best remedy for mosquitos, handed out to our troops in World War 2. It was used because it was cheap, and extremely effective. Well, it then took some time to discover its' evils and get it elimanted from the food chain. If I'm not mistaken, it's still used in some countries for the same reasons.

Ok.......

Anyone have any facts for the rebuttal?

I see a lot of people saying its still bad, but with no evidence!

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure its terrible but, facts would be nice....

The baby water made my jaw drop

Thanks for the link......

So its bad for rats........I want a human study!
