Diet. The aspartame seems to clear my vision.
Although I'm making the switch to sparkling seltzer water.

there's no difference between corn syrup and sugar to your body. your body breaks them down exactly the same. what you should beware of is that they are both toxic and unless you exercise after consumption equal to that of what you drink, 35% of all fructose is turned to fat like alcohol. thus you're far better off avoiding sugar all together. diet drinks are sweetened with questionable substances id avoid them too. club soda and lime, or just water is the way to go.


here get edumicated http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM



the difference is that they put HFCS in everything, in a lot of stuff that is unnecessary for it to be there even. Its not the same as sugar, no matter what the corn lobby tries to tell you.



Exactly -- don't fall for that hype you see on the commercials where they say sugar is sugar...I guess the biggest reason there's so much of it in the US it because it's easier to make and transport as HFCS over refined sugar.


I like the Natural Sierra Mist but I also like the Throwback Mt. Dew.

High fructose corn syrup should be an illegal substance.

HFCS is basically honey. We need to stop blaming substances for our piss-poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle. We didn't get fat because Coke switched HFCS for sugar, we got fat because we drink five cokes a day while sitting in a cubicle...

LOL... five is the number that people who drink 12 or more tell you so that they don't look as bad.

Kind of like how when alcoholism is defined as 3 drinks a week or more, alcoholics will claim they have about 5 when it's closer to 40...


Five cokes a day. hah

soda with real sugar but the only places I can find it here is Mexican stores, or when I was in the navy pretty much anywhere outside the US.

I wasn't referring to it making people fat, though it certainly doesn't help. It has characteristics that create a reaction in your body that is not unlike addiction. You eat foods that have it as a main ingredient and instead of sating your body's appetite, your body craves more instead. The net effect is that you end up eating more than you would with other kinds of sweeteners. It doesn't affect everyone the same way, obviously, and it isn't a guaranteed trip to fatsville, either.

It's a simple fact that fructose is metoblized in to fat at a much faster rate that sucrose and other sugars. Adding fructose to your diet means you can get fatter, even if you eat the same number of calories per day. HFCS may not be the devil, but it sure is a demon that hinders people from losing weight gained from overeating.
