Don't Be Deceived!

I made the mistake of watching five minutes (literally) of tv with my sister the other night. In that short amount of time, the show switched to commericals. Guess what they were commercials for? High fructose corn syrup! My blood pressure shot through the roof instantly. It fries me that people are so arrogant and so completely convinced of the ignorance of the American people that they blatantly LIE about proven facts on tv!!

If you have been fortunate enough to miss these ridiculous commericals, you can find them here:

If you would like the real facts, you can find them here:

(You can also keep browsing while on youtube checking out the commercials - some very brilliant and diligent people have put together concise and articulate summaries of the truth.)

The short version:

1. HFCS is in everything (don't believe me, start checking!) and is therefore impossible to consume in moderation.

2. HFCS is in no way equivalent to sugar, and does serious damage to your body.

3. You can, and should, say no. When consumers know what they're talking about and stand their ground, even the modern food production machine can be forced to bow to the laws of supply and demand.

There, see? That was only a short little soap box... :0)
