I never took 60 minutes seriously after they did a story that claim Paul Simon was nothing until he made an album with an African vocal group. Really? Bridge over Troubled Water was a warm up song? F you liberal extremist aholes.

I've seen people saying that be been eating sugar since the beginning of time and this whole thing is bullshit. Well, to be fair, that is correct, we have been eating sugar since the days of Jesus. However, that was natural sugars. In the last 30 years or so(?), since the beginning of artificial sweeteners and the sugar lobbyist etc...sugar intake is way out of control. Its been put into almost everyting, and of course They didnt use. to process the shiit out of sugar back in the day either. Sugar is more addictive than heroin, just look how angry certain people are getting at thought of someone saying its bad. Also, watching someone quitting sugar is like watching a horror movie. They get mean, ugly, angry and they'd get close to going on a killing spree.
Aspartame is the biggest evil that hasn't been around since the dawn of time. It's loaded with all kinds of horrible shit, Including formaldehyde. The story of how it finally got past the FDA in the 70s is pretty interesting as well. Natural sugar is good, artificial or too much "processed" sugar is bad. But, ill take processed over artificial any ****ing day.

so, with what we know, why is our gov't (who is our "primary healthcare administrator") subsidizing HFCS and smiling to suggest it is a good thing we do as a farm community, while our best, healthiest source of sugar (fruits, cane) are not at all subsidized and in fact are frowned upon by those in power over the past 50 years?

When it is metabolized in the body, the methyl ester breaks down into methanol. The methanol makes up 1/10 of the residual components of the aspartame so it's only a small part. To metabolize methanol, a small amount of formaldehyde is produced. This sounds scary but formaldehyde is actually an important substance in the body and is used in a lot of different processes (every cell in the body can process formaldehyde) . Our own bodies produce 50 mg of formaldehyde a day. The stuff is only harmful if you were to drink it straight or are exposed to industrial levels of the stuff for years at a time. Methanol is found in higher concentrations in natural foods like fruits and vegetables. A glass of fruit juice will produce more formaldehyde than a glass of Diet Pepsi. Here's a nice breakdown of what our bodies do with it: http://www.harpocratesspeaks.com/201...gredients.html |

Diet A&W Root Beer is kickass. I also like the Diet Cherry Coke Zero. Hardly tastes like diet drinks.

Pibb Extra is another good one. I generally stick with the "cherry" diets, though I have been drinking them long enough now that I don't mind the reg diet stuff.

I've been drinking diet sodas (first Coke and then Pepsi) for so long that regular soda seems horribly sweet. Even the new "10" sodas that have a little sugar in them but are still super low calorie seem too sweet.

I have done well with a few simple rules for healthy eating that are fairly easy to keep. Only whole grains. 100% whole grain bread, brown rice, quinoa, etc. No white potatoes. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (avoiding only the few that have a high glycemic index like watermelon). Lean meats (chicken, pork, quality steak, fish). If you do these things you can lose a lot of weight and do it in a healthy way without too much hassle. But you do still need to exercise. I've lost 40 lbs and kept it off for a year with this diet and exercise. There really is no shortcut that is healthy and will let you live a healthy lifestyle for the rest of your life. Too many lose some weight with fad diets, then go back to their old lifestyle and gain it all back (or more). A complete and permanent change of lifestyle is best. And it requires dedication and hard work, but is worth it. I'm 51 and in the best shape of my life - and I feel great. |

Zero $$$ for orange growers. Endle$$ deep pockets of cash subsidies for corn -- by far, the most soil intensive food crop grown in america. As an energy source it is equally toxic to environmental efficiency.

Still bad for you (even though I'm an addict.)
The various water flavorings with low sugar content are pretty good...
