Re: Your thoughts on HFCS? Lancet Research!

[Guest guest]

Please take a look at an article in the Times on Obesity Epidemic.

" ...the ever-rising epidemic of overweight and obesity at all ages — lies in

the answer to this question: Why did this happen in the first place? "

" ...is the conclusion of an impressive team of experts who spent the last two

years examining obesity-promoting forces globally. They recently published their

findings online in a series of reports in The Lancet. "

Funny, they don't even mention HFCS other than the obvious fact that we know it

is in processed foods.

Utube research?

Have you seen " Sugar- the Bitter Truth " on Utube by H Lustig, Ped Endo

MD, UCFS?

He argues that fructose and not enough fiber are the cornerstone of the obesity

epidemic. He would like a federal ban or tax on Fructose and likens it

metabolically to ingesting large quantities of alcohol posing a real challenge

to the liver.
