Why We’re Fat And Sick June 26, 2012 by Bob Livingston There is
a reason Americans are fat and sick. It’s called high fructose
corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup is a cheap non-food filler.
It contains no nutrition — only calories. It is, as a report in
The Guardian describes, a highly sweet, gloppy syrup produced
from surplus corn that is incredibly sweet. HFCS was discovered
in the 1950s; by the 1970s, a means had been devised to mass
produce it. It quickly began to be included in every processed
food made: pizza, coleslaw, meat, bread, cakes, candies, soft
drinks, etc. It was cheap to make and could be included in
everything, making the production of all food cheaper. HFCS does
four things: - It blocks the assimilation of calcium. Have you
ever heard of the osteoporosis epidemic in America? Most
Americans chase their calcium supplement with a drink containing
HFCS. Almost everyone over age 50 suffers from a dangerous loss
of calcium. - HFCS causes cancer in test animals. It predisposes
humans to cancer.
