11/20 One of the ethanol pdfs posted in the last few days mentions
high-fructose corn syrup as the most harmful human food additives in
US history. What does HFCS do to you?
\_ It makes me energetic and happy, but tired and grumpy about an hour

Cheap corn sugar is one of the main reasons out country is so obese.
Also eating too much sugar can lead to diabeties.
\_ NY Times magazine had a great article about this in the first
week of October. There's a direct link between corn subsidies
and obesity, though like any complex issue its not the only
cause. I'd put an URL, but unfortunately NY Times wants you
to pay for their archived articles now. |
