Sugar vs. Corn Syrup

I introduced my favorite soda; Pepsi Throwback (made with Sugar) to my Mother who has had a ton of health problems due to Rumsfield's bioweapon otherwise know as Aspertame. She loved it and went back to her home in a small town to buy some. She could not find it so she asked the Pepsi guy where she could get some. He laughed at her and said that "we haven't had that for months, it is too expensive and therefore it is a limited time only product" Nice huh, try finding a soda without Corn Syrup...Good luck. I bought 12 cases in my town and wiped out several stores.

The problem with HFCS is that the corn is genetically modified - and not in any positive way, like to include more nutrients, as GMO advocates proclaim. The corn produces its own pesticides (absolutely impossible in nature), and is made specifically for increased yield production - so that farmers will buy as much of it as they can. This type of corn is not even meant for human consumption, until it is processed into its profitable components- hello HFCS.

GMOs are getting more and more flack as research on animals show significant and irreversible harm to their organs. I avoid corn syrup like the plague because I don't want anything in my body that has been modified in order to increase the profit margin of Monsanto. Read about GMOs and you, too, will be horrified.

It's really not that hard to avoid the junk. Read the ingredients label and buy another product or make your own. If you buy less processed food your chances of consuming HFCS is greatly reduced.
This country and many more(especially Mexico) drink way too much soda. When I was a child in the 70's pop was still considered a treat and the normal bottle size was 8 ounces. I'm a little surprised Americans only consume 10lbs more sugar today considering how much we over eat.

Corn syrup made from genetically engineered corn, subsidized by our government, proven to cause health problems, and covered up by the FDA and Monsanto lobbyists....NO THANKS.

END CORN SUBSIDIES! END GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CORN!

Mother Jones: Please do an article about genetically engineered foods! We need your quality research on this issue now more than ever!!

Because HFCS is a relatively recent addition to the human diet, we are not evolved to recognize it...just as we are not evolved to recognize so many of the additives and preservatives that have come on the market in the past hundred years. And we don't have a great deal with experience with refined sugar, either. Both serve to elevate insulin levels -- and that is not healthy.

For an alternative, why not make your own? You can use whey drained from whole yogurt, honey for sweetening, and just about anything you might want to try, from basil to sumac berries. A little quiz: Pipsissewa formed the basis for which soda maker's drink? And coca? (I'm not advocating the use of the latter, though folks in South America still chew the leaves for a little boost...again, whether something is refined or not makes a big difference in how the body interprets what it's supposed to do.) If you really want a "throwback," go make your own. Homemade soda can still serve as an occasional treat. Plus, you can use it to teach your kids something about chemistry through the fermentation process and about botany through the plants you use.

Bottoms up!

In fact, the playful singer and record producer Kanye West has never concealed his special favorlouis Tivoli PM outlet store. He once not only entered fashion show in Now York and Paris to look into the new fashion trend Louis Vuitton Tivoli PM , but also talked about the design concept of luxury brands in his blog Speedy 25. What's more, he once announced that he would set foot in fashion industry and be a trainee in it Louis Vuitton Speedy 25. How about a celebrity be the trainee? I have never think of that.
