HIV Kills Cancer

ReverendTed says...

The good news is, they cured my cancer.
But the bad news is, I now have no short-term memory.

But the bad news is, etc...

Does this seem reminiscent of Australia's introduction of cane toads to eradicate cane beetles?

Dara O'Briain and Prof. Brian Cox Pissing Off Astrologers

Aren't memories funny things?

Every time I hear the word conjunction, I immediately think and sing the line from that dancing vegetable with a top hat and cane, "Conjunction junction, what's your function?"

On the Broken Time Travel Logic of Back to the Future Part 2 (Blog Entry by lucky760)

Sarzy says...

>> ^JiggaJonson:

@Sarzy YOU'RE NOT THINKING FOURTH DIMENSIONALLY!!!
Biff can't gradually return to a different future. Just like Doc says when they leave Jenifer behind "The change will be instantaneous!" I'm with Lucky on this one, if the past was modified, Biff should not have been returned to the original timeline, he would have gone to the future where Biff was a millionaire and built a casino in that shitty town.
And I for one think the second movie would have ended well with Doc and Marty sucked into a wormhole of nothingness, leaving no room for the pile of dead cheeseburger meat that was the third film.


Actually, there's a deleted scene on the DVD in which Old Biff, after breaking his cane and stumbling away from the Delorean, gradually disappears. You're supposed to infer that the alternate Biff didn't live to be that old, which made Old Biff disappear -- though that's pretty confusing (which is why they cut the scene).

That supports the fact that certain changes occur gradually, otherwise Old Biff would have disappeared the second he handed Young Biff the almanac.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is perfectly healthy

vaire2ube says...

indeed.

here is another way to consider the situation...


Q) Why Use Corn Sugar?
A) It's cheaper

Q) Do for-profit corporations exist for profit?
A) Yes

Q) If a corporation was a person, would they be a sociopath?
A) Yes.

now ask,

Should we trust the push for a cheaper ingredient which increases profits, with the cessation of such an ingredient not being as profitable, because we're told be the researchers paid for by the corporations that "our body can't tell the difference?" ... or should we be rightfully suspect.

i dont think the jury is still out, i think there is more data to come that will prove the obvious...

cane juice as a sweetener is my preference

The "Your body can't tell the difference" ad for corn sugar reminds me of the "I'm not a witch" ad...
Why bother bringing it up if there is no merit, etc...
Plus its been proven HFCS "corn sugar" is bad for you, and is just used because its a cheap thickening agent which is why you find it in products that don't even need it.
It's about money over your health, but "your body can't tell the difference".

. .. "in high-fructose corn syrup, the fructose molecules in the sweetener are free and unbound, ready for absorption and utilization. In contrast, every fructose molecule in sucrose that comes from cane sugar or beet sugar is bound to a corresponding glucose molecule and must go through an extra metabolic step before it can be utilized."

A Princeton University research team has demonstrated that all sweeteners are not equal when it comes to weight gain: Rats with access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those with access to table sugar, even when their overall caloric intake was the same.
In addition to causing significant weight gain in lab animals, long-term consumption of high-fructose corn syrup also led to abnormal increases in body fat, especially in the abdomen, and a rise in circulating blood fats called triglycerides. The researchers say the work sheds light on the factors contributing to obesity trends in the United States."

Sugar is BETTER for you than "Corn Sugar", and always in moderation.


There is not a scientific consensus about whether HFCS is worse than cane sugar. That Priceton paper is making big waves, but there are contrary viewpoints.

Reddit's AskScience forum had this discussion, which involves several relevant scientists:

High Fructose Corn Syrup is perfectly healthy

peggedbea says...

nope, we didn't even think to look at diet drinks, but in regular US coca cola, pepsi and dr. pepper there's about 35mg (or micrograms, maybe. been a while and i don't keep soda in the house)... dr. pepper may be a little higher, i think grape soda was a little lower.

they don't list the values on the cans in the netherlands, i was just wondering if thats because they just dont have to or because they don't put sodium in their drinks. >> ^dag:

I thought that sodium was only high in diet soda.
BTW, cane sugar is also used in soft drinks here in Australia - mainly because we have lots of cane farmers and few corn farmers - so it's cheap. It would probably be cheaper in the US today if there weren't massive government subsidies to corn farmers.
>> ^peggedbea:
hey, this is something my dude and i were wondering about while we were in the netherlands last year...
in the US most sodas are made with hfcs, but in europe they mostly use real sugar... so we were reading all the soda cans there and none of them listed the sodium content but here they always list the sodium content and it's pretty well known that sodas are high in sodium...
so do they not put the sodium in sodas in europe? or do they just not have to list the sodium content on the nutrition labels?
does the sodium content have something to do with the hfcs content? or are they just adding it to our sodas over here to make us thirstier so we'll drink more soda?

Dinosaur Rampages Through Polish Town

ghark says...

Not many realize that Australians are native to England and merely introduced to Australia, along with the Cane Toad, Koala, Panther and Dingo during the wave of British colonization throughout the world in the mid 18th Century.
