Health "Truths"

Lying to the public to make them buy more is as old of a standard for the business industry as it is completely disgusting

Has anyone noticed the increase in critics and so-called specialists alike who are saying things like Calcium being bad for you and high fructose corn syrup not being as bad for you?

this link makes me SICK. HFCS is horrible for you, corn itself shouldn't even be eaten as much as it is!


edit: for some odd reason, this posted before I was done,

I would like if anyone could show me other campaigns against things that are healthy for you, or for things are not good for you not being presented as such.

The biggest conspiracy in the world today is the BS companies allow us to eat.

What you are saying is very true.

I've noticed that we're often educated into thinking that bad things are good for you (which is the other side of the coin).

The best case I can think of is cow's milk - everywhere you look we are told it's REALLY good for you but in fact this is not true - the truth is that there are more people on the planet that cow's milk makes ill than those that can tolerate it without ill effects.

Whilst I'm on my soap box about cow's milk - I suggest everyone read this...

The Milk Letter: A Message to My Patients

The problem is that food businesses and governments are not that bothered about whether people have great diets - business just wants to produce low cost high profit crap and governments don't want you living long after retirement age.

It will be interesting to see what other people think. Good thread.
