Just watched a commercial that fails the logic test.
The commercial says studies found that HFCS has an affect similar to sugar in humans.
It implies that there is nothing to worry about in consuming HFCS.
This implies that there was a current concern about consuming HFCS.
'A' is possibly bad.
It is found that 'A' is similar to 'B'.
Therefore....?
Well, according to the commercial 'A' is now okay!
What about the possibility that 'B' may also be bad?
I'm not going to say that sugar is bad. What I will say is that excess sugar is probably not good for anyone.
The average amount of sugar consumed in a year by Americans has increased 100lbs in the last century.
We know how sugar affects insulin levels and we know how powerful insulin is.
We know that cancer cells feed off of sugar.
Why do we continue to ignore the science that has won multiple Noble prizes for its researchers?
$$$$$$$$$$$
HFCS is cheap compared to sugar. Sugar is sweet. People like the taste of it and the insulin response to sugar. It is a potentially deadly cycle, an addiction that is being exploited for profit.
Just found this commercial that has the actress hastily mumble "its fine in moderation." I guess the lawyers got in on that one.
