HFCS is Evil

Sodas are sweet, bubbly, delicious, and seductive nectar from hell. Why? High fructose corn syrup.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not giving up coke for love or money, but I'm keeping much better track of how much I consume.

Why is it evil?

Because it's stealth. Your body doesn't release leptin when HFC hits your system. Leptin is th stuff that tells your brain your full.

Without it, you're going to suck down all 44 ounces if that monsterous big gulp. The only thing that'll stop you is over-expanding. But by the time you get a stomach ache, it's too late-all 560 calories are in and on their way to your butt.

Why should I care?

Because 20.6 million people over 20 in the USA have diabetes. Of these, 2.5 are of Latin American heritage. And 9.7 million of the grand total are women. I'd just as soon stay off the list.
