I don't know about the rest of you, but I think my plan to learn how to make my own jam just got kicked into high gear.

I love how the High Fructose Shit Syrup commercials sound and look almost exactly like the "Clean coal" commercials... Same PR firm?
Reminds me of the old tobacco ads...
Bad is good... Dark is light... Clear skies act... No child left behind... etc etc etc...
Whatever it IS, call it the opposite and gullible, uneducated people will buy it hook line and sinker.

This gives me a new party game idea:
First the main person participating must sit at the head of a table or some other place where the will be the center of attention. Next, a group of three to four people must then go into the hosts pantry and take an unspecified amount of food. The main player must then eat the food that's been placed before them. After about a week, everyone must see whether or not the person has suffered some sort of illness due to what he ate. Everyone involved can make bets and if the participant survives this ordeal, everyone must pay him $20. - 3 years ago

Many common foods made using commercial high fructose corn syrup contain mercury as well, researchers reported on Tuesday, while another study suggested the corn syrup itself is contaminated.
Food processors and the corn syrup industry group attacked the findings as flawed and outdated, but the researchers said it was important for people to know about any potential sources of the toxic metal in their food.
In one study, published in the journal Environmental Health, former Food and Drug Administration scientist Renee Dufault and colleagues tested 20 samples of high fructose corn syrup and found detectable mercury in nine of the 20 samples.
Dufault said in a statement that she told the FDA about her findings but the agency did not follow up.

Delicious mercury.
On the positive side, small doses could help you to build up an immunity to it. - 3 years ago
