Exercise is futile against a high fructose diet... and everything has fructose

[Dog Walker]

Bos,  Don't give them any ideas!  They've shoved this sweetener in to everything else already.  Don't encourage them to ruin my favorite condiment.

Chemically, all sugars are very similar, but our bodies are really particular about how they process food molecules.  This is especially true for how they affect your brain.  You have it right.

Have you all seen the new commercials for corn syrup?  What a joke!

They are trying to make it sound like it's not a bad thing. 

[Dog Walker]

There was a quote from a nutritionist published in the NYT last week (!@@$% can't find the quote to post it!)

He said in effect that high fructose corn syrup was a perfect indicator for foods we should not eat as it is put in the most highly processed, preservative laden food out there.  Interesting take.

The sad part is that most people are too dumb to realize it.

If they ruin my Mexican Coke with this stuff I will never forgive them.

Stephen,  You didn't have to post pictures of your sisters to make your point!

[Dog Walker]

Well now we know who got the looks in the family!

[fieldafm]

Is you sister single?

[Dog Walker]

Field, That's Sportmotor's line!

[Dog Walker]

Ah.  Who was it that was always looking for a date then?  (Senior moment)

[fieldafm]

Hot, 41 and dangerous... just the kind of girl for newly single field, lol

Cancer cells feed on fructose, study finds

Research shows the refined sugar helps cancer cells proliferate.

WASHINGTON â€" Pancreatic tumor cells use fructose to divide and proliferate, U.S. researchers said on Monday in a study that challenges the common wisdom that all sugars are the same.

Tumor cells fed both glucose and fructose used the two sugars in two different ways, the team at the University of California Los Angeles found.

great post Lunican.. some people wonder why they can't lose weight with their salads and a cup of fat free ranch dressing or south beach diet candy bars.. and yes it's hard to find food these days w/o HFCS.. but there are natural fructose found in fruits that is good for you..

To add insult to injury the Obama administration has just tentatively agreed to increase the allowance for ethanol in auto fuel to be as much as 15%.  Not just a rant against Obama, every administration of both parties has cowtowed to the corn growers wayyy too much.

If we are going to redistribute any wealth in this country, it should be from the corn growers to everyone else.  They see enough subsidies and incentives for every product from 70% of food products to gasoline to fabric materials to just about anything to include something from corn.  Corn has tons of nutrients and uses, but the hemp plant arguably has even more and that's an illegal crop.

Those Iowa Congressmen/Senators are every bit as powerful as the Speaker of the House/Senate Majority Leader because they always get what they want (more power/money for corn farmers).

Besides, exercise has been proven to not be the main determining factor in body mass index.  Pure diet alone can keep someone from ever getting fat, even if they barely lift a finger.  Unfortunately like the research indicates, it is hard to maintain a truly healthy and "balanced" diet when 70% of food products contain corn.

This is ludicrous. It takes more petroleum products to produce ethanol than its use in gasoline saves. It has a negative net benefit. Partly also because ethanol infused gasoline delivers less mpg. I'm not kidding. Why are we doing this?

Didn't anyone else notice that gas mileage went way down when ethanol became mandatory in fuel in FL?
