High-fructose corn syrup linked to obesity

Maybe, instead of barbecue, this year's Fly-B-Que will feature wheat-grass shooters and tempeh patties, and we can all go to Adam's gym. Finish off the day with a refreshing papaya colonic and lemon water. I'll look like you guys in no time...

Cheers,

Possibly, if they survive the high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. Of course the lean and mean folks will be the ones foraging with the greatest success! :D

A quick Google search will come up with no shortage of references.

I see the point that people make about counting calories, but it really is about more than just calories. I don't drink sodas very frequently anymore, having maybe 2 per week. I'm also scrawny. Of course, there's a bunch more to it than that, but just saying. :)

So? Please provide relevent references. Using your research method, I can show that 9/11 was a government plot...and the CIA killed JFK...and all kinds of other stuff.

You made the assertion...please back it up.

I told you where to find the info yourself. If you care to, go ahead. I don't consume the referenced sweeteners for a number of reasons. People give me a hard time for how thin I am. Sure, a good part of it is genetics, but if you look at my eating habits it should be pretty clear why as well.

Oddly, one of my friends who weighs about twice what I do (literally) doesn't seem to understand why he can't lose weight, as he puts on the extra mayo and chugs another 2 liter of diet Pepsi...

Ted is a Mutant... I've seen him eat more then should be humanly possible... and yet he is still a stick.

It's the only think that keeps me sane... if WWIII breaks out I can live off of grass and dandlions... Ted will die. :devil:

Not an issue. I'd just fly my plane to someplace with food and base myself there.
 
Try Coke made with cane sugar sometime. It's still made (Mexico) and imported to parts of S. Texas and some specialty stores elsewhere. Far better than the HFCS stuff, and infinitely better than artificial sweeteners.

Speaking of artificial, you can still buy Tab in some places. :skeptical:

No...you didn't...you pretty much just said "look on the internet". I'm not going to waste my time dredging through the garbage out there for the one or two valid studies that might support what you said...as you made the assertion, that's your job...if I then disagree, I then find my own citations to back up my view.

You want to believe everything you read on the internet...be my guest.

I won't continue this particular conversation unless you bring some relevant information.
