ricinsays...'Kay? Alright?
Good talk, but saying "'kay?" after everything gets really old fast.
MaxWildersays...^ Good thing I didn't read the comments, because things like that don't usually bother me until somebody points it out.
peggedbeasays...*quality
siftbotsays...Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by peggedbea.
notarobotsays...A few years ago, a bunch of us were going camping. I realized after we had left that I had forgotten to bring drinking water for our trip. We pulled into a grocery store where I could buy some bottled water, but I found that the prices for water were all very high, around $2.00-$4.00. Instead I picked up a 2L bottle of coke for $0.77, walked outside the store, dumped it in the parking lot and refilled it with water in the bathroom. One of my friends was shocked that I was wasting the cola. I explained that I was paying for the bottle, not the contents. We had a great trip.
grintersays...wait, the lower density form of LDL is fine for you (high density LDL being the problem), but very low density LDL is bad for you? Why?
choggiesays...Eliminate refined sugars from the diet or seriously limit them, natural fiber, omegas, lotta water. Who needs a health plan? Eat like an any other mammal does that live son the wild. Instinctually.
A: Unhealthy people, the majority of whom are so through programming and lack of knowledge or concern...
xcalibur2ksays...Wow very enlightening
LarsaruSsays...Here is another link to a study on High Fructose Corn Syrup:

That stuff is deadly...

siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Debunked) - requested by Trancecoach.
Simple_Mansays...I can't say for certain, but I'm think this video will change my life. I've been trying to lose weight for ages, not drinking any coke, doing exercise etc., but I've never realized the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup in all foods. I wrote down those 4 tips that he suggested to losing weight, and I'll repeat them here for those who missed it. I'll certainly stick to it and see if it works.
1. Get rid of all sugared liquids: only water and milk. Fruits are fine, because it contains all the fibers.
2. Eat carbs with fiber, because fibers are awesome. Fibers: Lowers total and LDL cholesterol, reduces risk of heart disease
regulates blood sugar, and speeds the passage of foods through the digestive system
3. Wait 20 mins for second portions, so your satiety response can kick in.
4. Buy your screen time minute-for-minute with physical activity.
Some other points:
-a calorie is not a calorie: you don't do exercise to burn calories, but to increase metabolism
-fructose IS NOT glucose. A large amount of glucose is used by the rest of the body, meaning it burns much quicker. Fructose can only be metabolized in the liver, and it's a volume issue. It means a lot gets turned into fat, and in that process, blocks receptors to generate certain chemicals which tell your body to stop eating, causing a vicious cycle.
-be a fattie or fart a lot (from the fiber). Make your choice.

So, it's been a couple of months. I'm wondering how the changes went?
Duckman33says...I see that they are trying to get the name changed from "High Fructose Corn Syrup" to "Corn Sugar" too. And have ads on TV stating this crap is no worse for you than real sugar.
blankfistsays...It tastes like cra[beep]ap.
gwiz665says...If people want to eat HFCS that's their business, like smoking cigarettes, but when corporations actively try to obfuscate the truth of the dangers of it, it's bad.
teebeenzsays..."For people who are worried about their health or their children’s health — and who isn’t, these days — the data suggest that the best choice is to reduce intake of all sweeteners containing fructose. That includes not only the evil HFCS, but also natural cane sugar, molasses (which is just impure cane sugar), brown sugar (ditto) and honey. Even “unsweetened” (no added sugar) fruit juices need to be considered when limiting your family’s fructose intake."

But is that true? Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose when broken down, but is sucrose actually processed in that order: split the disaccharide and then digest individual sugars? (Your link says that this is the case. And it says unsplit disaccharides stay in the gut. What percentage does this happen to?) Is there proof that fructose alone is bad and that it's not the imbalance of excess fructose vs. sucrose that's bad, like omega-6 vs. omega-3 fatty acids? Is fructose from Coke, mixed with carbonic acid, processed the same way, at the same speed, as fructose from apple juice?

As they said, based on current data... yes.
