Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27174672 Sugar when eaten enough of will cue your brain, FULL ( for most people ) HFCS will not, it will say yum (even though its really not ) more more more bitch feed me. Its in almost everything. If you are over 40 and remember a real classic coke ( before new coke came out ) that had sugar in it, when they reintroduced Coke as Coke Classic, they changed over to HFCS. Anyway if you like Coke in the Mexican section of most grocery stores they have the Mexican Coke, it has sugar instead of HFCS and tastes like it use to. Plus a 12 oz bottle will be all you want (but taste great) Im not saying sugar Coke is healthy but it is super vitamin food compared to its HFCS pretender. Bingo. The whole "classic coke/ new coke" was a scam. It was used to add HFCS into the "classic coke". By changing the formula to "new coke", then back again, people didnt notice the HFCS replaced the sugar because they were just happy to have classic coke back. When classic coke came back it had HFCS instead of sugar. Fact. When people fell for it, they knew they could add that crap to everything. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 39134696 Bahrain 05/23/2013 11:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | in europe they use so called fructose-glucose syrup made mostly from wheat, it's almost as bad High Fructose Corn Syrup is made by the enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch into glucose, followed by an enzymatic isomerisation of a proportion of the glucose components into fructose. Standard commercial HFCS is 42% fructose, because this level in a soft drink most closely corresponds with the sweetness of a sugar (sucrose) solution. HFCS is the most widely used (caloric) sweetener in North America. In Europe, the Common Agricutlural Policy placed strict quota on the amounts of Fructose that could be produced, in order to protect the sugar industry. However sugar was considerably more expensive than glucose syrup, and so over a period of several years the glucose manufacturers, working closely with the food industry, developed new products which had enhanced sweetness compared to glucose and which could be used to replace a proportion of sugar in formulations. These could either be made by eking out a manufacturer's fructose quotum, or by making a 9% fructose content syrup which was exempt from the quota. New labellling regualtions came into force in the EU approx 3 years ago, which stated that these products should be labelled as glucose-fructose syrup (if the fructose content was less than the glucose) or fructose-glucose syrup (for a fructose level > 50%, which is pretty rare in the EU). Prodcuts in the EU containing glucose-fructose syrup have a wide range of fructose level in that syrup, typical examples being jams (6 - 9% fructose) and soft drinks (18 - 42%). |

It could be that many don't understand the personal decisions, responsibility, and psychological underpinnings of what they call "addiction", which is more than anything a label used as coercion or any number of other purposes, not specific to the semantic at hand. People give up heroin, alcohol, smoking, etc... "just like that" ...when and if, they really decide to personally. In the mean time there is a lot of business and psychological avoidance that takes place under the giant semantic umbrella of "addiction", and those who fail are really those who did not have real intent to change in the first place. The worst thing of all about corn sweetener, is that you don't make it yourself from corn you grow yourself, but using corn syrup involves buying a product, where you are giving money and power to an organization and interests much larger than yourself. The most revolutionary effect that any person could have on the world is in the decision of who they give any slight amount of money to, and to who they don't. Every time you contribute to a person or entity much bigger and more powerful than yourself, even if it is just a little, you are karmically chipping away at the freedom of the world you were born into. If each person would really take responsibility for themselves, and stop whining about others and things they have no control over so much, that would have a revolutionary effect on the world. :rant over: |

They wanted to prescribe pills & perform surgery that night. I said HELL NO. Changed my life, which I was already having to do anyways because I could not keep anything down, lost a ton of weight stopped eating ALL of their poisons I could. I pissed off my doctor because they could not explain how I ended up accomplishing what I did without their intervention. I completely reversed my liver condition and gall stones mysteriously disappeared. I did no gimmicks or cleanses. I changed my life and way of thinking and eating. I healed myself. I have not been back to the doctor since I proved their Bullshit to them. I may never go back unless it is a true life threatening emergency. |
