High Fructose Corn Syrup (again)

 Chipmunk DrinkingExperimental chipmunks were made to drink Coca-Cola from a straw ....   Just kidding. That's not the research study. Although, you know what's funny, is that IF I said that there were some research design that did this, we wouldn't doubt it!!   Back to reality. What researchers actually did show in this article is the relationship between Fructose-sweetened beverages and the development of Metabolic Syndrome. 
  My morning audio podcast on this is here.
  From the article: "Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a condition characterised by central obesity, hypertension, and disturbed glucose and insulin metabolism. The syndrome has been linked to increased risks of both type 2 diabetes and CVD."   We are told many conflicting things by research science, by the corn growers association (gee, I wonder what they're going to tell us to do), and by novel diet theories that will certainly bombard anew us each January.   For you and me, however, we should rely on some long overdue common sense. Eat food. That goes for your drinks as well. If there needs to be a research study to determine whether or not its SAFE FOR YOU (hello?), perhaps the best first-pass solution is to just back up and consume things that we know are safe.   Help us change the culture of health.

I honestly don't get why people put up with the crappy food supply we have in this country.

cheers,

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.

 Hi Multiple Pet Mom!!

Thanks for the reply ... although this got buried in the bottom of my infinite To-Do List!! 

Yes, Will Clower is my real name!! 

The stuff they put in our food is incredible. And there seems to be a "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" mentality around it ... throw it out there, and if it causes problems later, well we'll pull it from the shelves then. 

It makes it tough to just eat real food -- because so many things that SHOULD be real food (like normal ground beef) are treated with an Acme Jr Chem set of stuff. 

Thanks again for the post!!
