Corn Syrup Conspiracy

*Reads label of her potato salad in disgust*

Why is there fucking high fructose corn syrup or corn syrup in nearly every fucking food product in this country?

It's not a huge surprise this nation battles obesity like it does when there's corn syrup or sugar in everything, even savoury products that shouldn't have it (bread, pasta sauce... and not just a touch either, to the point where it actually tastes sweet too *shudder*).

There seems to be some controversy on the raw food diets. Raw food people seem to think that cooked food is poisonous, but there's no supportive research.

Neither [livejournal.com profile] vgnwtch nor I could find any substantial evidence one way or the other, though, eating more raw fruit and veg in your diet is generally a good thing anyway.

Getting rid of refined sugar in one's diet makes a HUGE difference. Heck, it gave [livejournal.com profile] vgnwtch a stronger immune system!
