Testimony#1: Six months ago, I eliminated HFCS from my diet. I did this primarily by changing brands of food and/or eliminating some. I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks, and continued to lose – now at a 20 lb loss. I have more energy, and am more active as a result.
Testimony #2: My mother developed Type II Diabetes. After my experience, she eliminated HFCS. In one month, her AM blood sugars are back to normal.
The corporate switch to HFCS from sugar is based on greed – it’s cheaper. There has been an increase in adult-onset diabetes ever since this change in the 1980’s. Personally, I think HFCS should be outlawed!

Mary, define “healthy”. Or more importantly, how does your doctor define “healthy”?

Very detailed article I just got diagnosed with high cholesterol and now am taking Lipitor. The Dr. told me it was hereditary because I eat a pretty healthy diet.

The new ad campaign by the Corn Refiners is not really good. I was reading about it at http://www.themarketingscene.com/index.php/site/topic/hi_fructose/ and I think it is wrong

Interesting. As if self control of sugar intake wasn’t hard enough already!

Mrs. Angry Immigrant and I are cutting back on the HFCS as well. I didn’t know about the liver risk. I guess this means I can balance out the load on my living and go back to my life of hard drinking again…
