Warning, more deception to come....

I see this commercial all the time on TV and think to myself, God woman, I cant believe someone like you would sell out yourself for advocating and falsifying such a horrible product! If people continue to ignore the fact that processed foods are just like any other food and that what the FDA puts out can be trusted, they're going to end up with alot of problems. It doesnt take a genius to figure out how media markets DO NOT CARE about OUR HEALTH, Its all for advertising and money.


This really does suck, because if they change the label to corn sugar, theres gonna be a hell of alot more obese people than there are now.

stereofidelic89,

There's going to be a whole lot of more of  than just obesity... like serious chronic, diseases.

No, people are fat because they take in too many calories and don't exercise the calories off. Plain and simple.

While I am not a heavy person, some that are may take offense to your post. In some cases, there are medical issues as to why someone might be over-weight.

Especially in this forum.... hello Prednisone?

suebear,

cause obesity, but corn syrup does not unless one is sedentary and consumes too many calories.

Not true. HFCS doesn't just cause obesity, and has nothing to do with being sedentary and consuming too many calories.

But has everything to do with the fact that HFCS screws up your whole metabolic system, the way your body manufactures glucose, insulin, and reads "what's a real sugar" and it can even screw up your whole hormonal system.

Obesity is just the tip of the iceberg to the downward  spiral, and it has nothing to do with consuming too many calories and being sedentary.

stereofidelic89,

You're right.

There are 2 courses that should be taught in school: nutrition and how to be a good parent.

We require licensure for drivers, why not require licensure for parenting too, haha?

I don't think that changing the name from high fructose corn syrup to corn sugar is going to trick anyone into eating it; those who avoid HFCS will know what's going on and will continue to avoid it, no matter what it's called. So I disagree that there will be more obese people just because the name gets changed.

Makes sense. I can eat sugar but since dropping all sode, all gatorade and all beverages except for pure water, coconut water....that is the end of list I guess I cut out the rest, since dropping those I can eat sugar and I dont have any problems from it.

No way do I think it's the state or federal govt.'s job to educate people about nutrition facts. Sure, the basics, but... It's solely up to the individual, & the child's parents. I agree, a lot of people who have kids are not necessarily "qualified", but... It's a slippery slope, you know? Besides, the USDA website, "choosemyplate.com" has TONS of info, free for the taking. Even about HFCS.
