dont touch the stuff,.
but,. intelligence does run in my family.. jus sayin.
I lernt that a long time ago

High Fructose Corn Syrup would not exist without government subsidies to the midwest which prop up corn prices so multi-national agribusinesses like Cargil can make an enormous profit.

Interestingly, the 'small government' "conservatives" who control much of the midwest tend to vote for these government subsidies because it keeps their districts employed. It's a form of Socialism, is it not?

A spoonful of sugar isn't going to hurt anyone. Ten spoons full of sugar is a different stories. 15 calories compared to 150 calories is a big difference. They put too much sugar in soft drinks. I don't care for things sweet like that.

HFCS doesn't taste as good as table sugar. It has a sharp aftertaste to it. It might not be noticeable in soda as much, but in other products it is.

HFCS is a terrible thing i hope people pay attention to the fact that they are paying to ingest poison.

i never cared about it my whole life. drank pop all the time and ate processed foods with it in it no problem..

i wish i would have been smarter about it. truthfully i can say now after having spent a month in the hospital last year i was diagnosed with diabetes. still even then it didn't really hit me...

it became real for me when it developed into neuropathy. this sh*t is evil... my nerves are dying now. it causes such incredible pain that i have ended up on the floor in the fetal position and truly wished to die...

the only thing that saves me from that now is morphine. i have to take it at least 3 times per day. or i cant function.
at least its synthetic morphine. but seriously i don't think this is going to hit you unless you could live with my pain.

the pain from neuropathy cripples you, i have to walk with a cane now. funny thing is now that i have this disease i pay strict attention to the poisons i put into my body, funny how pain will do that to you. i hope you consider these words i write to you and take them to heart.

this stuff is poison and its put out on purpose to either kill you or get you on the medicine wagon to make some one a huge profit. insulin is not cheap at all.

nor are the pain medicines i have to take now just to be able to continue to work. i really hope this hits home to you. i absolutely would not wish this kind of pain on any one no matter how much i disliked them.

pay attention to the ingredients in your food and try to get as much organic food as possible... trust me you would not mind paying a lot more for food if you could avoid what has happened to me...

and for your sake i hope you truly do pay attention to this and avoid the terrible pain that i look forward to each day i wake up. thank you HFCS. you #ing suck...

the saddest thing is i did this to my self because i just didn't pay attention to what was in my food and trusted the government that they would always look out for me. surely they wouldn't allow bad things in our food right??

take responsibility for your self. don't end up like me. you wont like it at all...

take care ats.

regards robert.

HFCS is cheaper to use in products then sugar.
That is why they made the switch.

Yeah, well it doesn't taste as good, either. It has a bite or sharp aftertaste to it. Try a brand of chocolate syrup sweetened with HFCS and then taste some sweetened with sucrose.
