There have been studies that also demonstrate a deleterious effect of HFCS on memory.
- Archangel ωαřмaiden
I am a case in point: since moving stateside 2 years ago I am on the verge of a heart attack (high LDL), am borderline diabetic and have loads of fatty belly tissue. All this with maintaining a better and healthier lifestyle than I used to have. The only difference between prior to 2 years ago and now? High fructose corn syrup. Luckily, there is medication (3rd tier, of course) that helps me control it, only $40 a month for the rest of my life. Fan-fucking-tastic *angry fist shaking*

@Uncle: are you commenting to me? What is it that you're asking me?
- Rene Wirtz
Now I know that HFCS is the cause of my problems, me and my family try to avoid it. But here's the thing, it's even in things like Capri-sun orange juice! I mean, WTF?! This is also strictly a US thing, outside of the US instead of HFCS regular sugar or sugar derivatives are used, which explains why obesity is a much bigger problem in the US than it is elsewhere.
- Rene Wirtz
I *think* I understand Uncle's question...and it seems directed at the title of the article. Correct me if I'm wrong in interpretation, Uncle, but it seems you're asking *what are our options?* -- given that HFCS is in EVERYthing. Plus, the food industry and the pharma industry are happily in bed together via the FDA. (http://factoidz.com/has-inc...)
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
HFCS is as pervasive as it is only due to massive government intervention in (1) the corn market and (2) the sugar market. Shoot, changing public opinion about trans fats effected significant change in a very, very short amount of time.

@MVB - to be honest, I'd kinda wanted to believe that HFCS wasn't any different than regular sugar, calorie-for-calorie... =/
- Andrew C
First off, always drink 100% juice (I'm a Juicy Juice person), there's no reason not to. Second, actually look at food labels. Yeah there's a lot you wont be able to eat, but sometimes it's not just about switching out one-for-one, it's about changing your eating habits and how you look at food. (Yes, I know how hard this is, I have chronic heartburn and I'm working on eating better.)
- Heather
@Heather - the book "Squeezed" by Alissa Hamilton, if you haven't already read it, may be depressing reading about juice.
- Andrew C
It isn't easy...check out this list: http://www.accidentalhedonist.com/index...
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
Most of those foods listed are what I would consider convenience foods. With a little planning, they are all avoidable.
- Mellissa
Agreed, Mellissa. *nod* What struck me was...bread? Really? I've taken to baking our breads to avoid that. Cereals are relatively easy to read the labels, and I've found that most of the Malt-O-Meal products (in the bags) are free of HFCS...for now. And even *meats* - I've found sausages with HFCS in them (while hunting for sausage to make jambalaya). What frustrates me is that all of...
more...
- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
That's true. I've noticed even with something as simple as bread - my supermarket's brand multigrain and wholemeal breads are nearly double the price of white bread. I don't think HFCS is used much here in Australia, but I definitely hear you on the price of whole foods.
- Mellissa
*nod* This problem is most prevalent in the U.S. -- which is one of our major concerns. My husband is from Europe (his comments are above) -- though what I'm becoming more concerned by with respect to other countries is where there is a surge of fast food chains, there is an increase in the use of HFCS. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but my husband likes Coke. I'm waiting for Passover...

- ProsePetals (aka Denise)
I've checked...even what is being produced in Mexico anymore is with HCFS...I checked a mercado in San Antonio while I was there last week, even. *sigh* Even their various fruity sodas are made with the stuff.

A good rule of thumb on what to cram in your mouth: If it didn't exist a hundred years ago it most likely is not healthy.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
loads of things that existed 100 years ago have had HFCS added to them for no good reason, tho.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
Then, don't eat them.
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
while i was in Malaysia i had no danger of ingesting HFCS cos it's not in ANYTHING there. not even soda pop. i read food labels all the time.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
HFCS is mostly geared towards food products for the US market. It is used in Europe, but only a fraction of what it is used for in the US. I don't know about Australasia and Africa, but I'm assuming it's similar or less than Europe.
- Rene Wirtz
May I take this opportunity to point out that American HFCS usage is driven in large part by the tariffs on sugar imports. Sugar in the US is much more expensive than elsewhere, so we use crappy substitutes.
- Alex Scrivener
And, Alex, why is that?
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
corn subsidy.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
Why eat sugar? Why eat HFCS? Why drink juice of any kind? Why is this a problem for so many people? You want juice, drink some wine. Wakey, wakey!!!
- Christopher Harley
my kids drink water and milk at home, pretty much no exceptions to that, except for apple cider in season. they're allowed lemonade and the very occasional soda when we're out.
- Blackeyed P
Fresh veggies, fresh meats, expensive bread, and no juice should pretty much cover it. Sadly I don't come anywhere close to that standard for myself or my toddler :(
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Even if you give kids the HFCS-free food at home, at school they have access to food items loaded with it.
- Rene Wirtz
That's not an answer to the problem, Rene. It's an excuse for ignoring the problem. Are your kids so defiant that they'll seek out HFCS simply to rebel against your guidance?
- Christopher Harley
*puts on tinfoil hat* HFCS is used instead of sugar, because sugar is a communist substance and was "banned" after the blockade of Cuba *takes off tinfoil hat*
- Rene Wirtz
I know that Christopher, but everything that is good/fun/enjoyable has HFCS in it; it's not so much rebellion. Our kids like the HFCS-free meals my wife prepares, but kids are kids are kids, they will want to snack.
- Rene Wirtz
A number of products I consume have switched from HFCS to "real" sugar over the past 1 - 2 years. It seems to be the leading edge of a trend. Expectations that every person in the US could easily avoid risk by becoming educated, reading food labels, and purchasing healthier options (which are less popular, less available, and often more expensive) are unrealistic IMHO.
- Lo
Then education, beyond a remedial understanding of the world around us, is unrealistic.
- Christopher Harley
Since learning about the *evils* of HFCS I make every effort to check labels and put back anything using it. Especially where giving food to my kids (4&2) is concerned - it's my responsibility what they ingest etc. It's easy to get a little crazy checking everything in everything you eat so I try to default to two main rules - no HFCS and as little as possible saturated fat.
- 1x29
Isn't the use of HFCS based on cost? I.e. it's a cheaper sugar substitute?
- 1x29
Yes, HFCS is a cheap subsitute for sugar. So, the FDA approved HFCS while at the same tarriffs on sugar were increased. And the FDA is the spider in the web in all of this, makes you wonder why this happened and who is benefiting from this.
- Rene Wirtz
How much, to the nearest $10 Billion, do you think ADM and Monsanto spend, every year, on lobbyists and in political 'contributions?'
- MVB (Curmudgeon of FF)
I don't even want to guess. And I'm sure big pharma and big insurance are in on it too, making money off all the diabetics.
- Rene Wirtz
Think avoiding HFCS is hard? Try HFCS, maltodextrin, MSG, and gluten. :/
- Alix Whitmire
Though my worst gripe is with "natural" and "artificial" flavors. They don't even tell you what they're putting in the food with those.
- Alix Whitmire
Nope, they hide pretty well what they put in food, Alix.
- Rene Wirtz
We've been pretty much avoiding HFCS for a few years now Arnold's bread doesn't have HFCS and is reasonable, aside from that I cook simply & from scratch. HFCS is in some of our condiments, but I'm ok with that small amount.
- Heather Solos
We do the same here, Heather. In small amounts there is really nothing wrong with HFCS, but it is abundant in processed foods.
- Rene Wirtz
Quickly glancing at "Squeezed" it says it's about orange juice, is there more? I rarely drink oj, but I'm addicted to juice in the am like most people are to coffee. I can't stand anything that isn't "100% juice" and I thought variety would be at least moderately positive. If I have to add juice to my cut back on list I think I'll be stuck eating seasonal veggies and drinking tap water....
more...
- Heather
Capri-sun juices have HFCS ... it is strange, because what else than the juice from an orange would you need for OJ?
- Rene Wirtz
@Heather: the condensed version would be that not-from-concentrate juice is highly processed. The immediate products of juicing are quickly separated into the stable parts, aka fruit sugars, and the volatile oils 'n' stuff. The former is stored in giant tanks for months, the latter is sold to specialist flavour companies who process it some more, then sell it back to the juice companies...

this sounds like about half of the people my boss gave me to train up as an assistant back in my publishing days. why i was never involved in the hiring process is beyond me. i ended up with 5 people making messes for me to clean up (when they weren't just sitting on their asses and gold bricking, which i eventually preferred) and generally pissing off the people i was trying to help.
- Joe Silence is Dr. Teeth!
Spidra, the same boss (CEO) responsible for every messed-up work story I tell. The office manager was theoretically involved as well, but she's become a yes-man to the CEO (for her own safety). I used to be involved, esp when it so clearly involves me, but boss apparently doesn't trust me anymore... today he justified my continued employment by saying "I'll go with the devil I know." Not everybody went to management school, I guess... :)
- Lo
Joe, that sounds very lame! The bright spot (a big one) here is that I really won't have to deal too closely with the mess, if there is one. The downside is, I can leave as soon as she knows what she's doing... so I may have to keep working after New Year's. I suppose I could use the money. I'm just tired of this holding-pattern-between-lives crap.

- Petr Buben
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- Petr Buben
Ah, OK, Petr. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]

oh ... a scan. not fax?! .... it looked to me like she was faxink
- Petr Buben
Just 5 more likes needed. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Try rolling the cat through a press first. Flat cats fit into the fax easier.
- Bob Blunk
Fax, Petr. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).

I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- Steve C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- Kevin Pedraja
LOL, Kevin.

i can also imagine the cat going there cause it is snug and warm

Trader Joe's carries crumpets (or at least they used to) so you can make a side-by-side comparison. To me it looks like what Australians call English muffins and what we call English muffins are the same.

I realized today that, in general, we benefit from much greater freedoms than our forefathers did 200 years ago. Think about that one, the next time someone says something like "if our founding fathers had felt that should be in the Constitution they would have put it in themselves" in a political argument.

Women can vote. People of all colors, creeds and ethnicities can live and work just about anywhere in this country. People aren't persecuted for their beliefs on a wide scale. Freedom of speech is largely greater than it is today (albeit mainly through better technology, not better government).
- Alex Scoble
We are free to be constantly surveilled, optically and electronically, by our government and corporations, and the data collected used against us without our knowledge. They shoulda thought of that one. We are less free to exercise our right to travel than ever in the past.
- LogEx
Women have greater control over their reproductive systems.
- Alex Scoble
Americans 200 years ago rioted over taxes on tea. Think about that. They were easily pissed off.
- Alex Scrivener
And you are totally wrong, LogEx...because of technology, we are much more free to fly to just about anywhere in the world. You couldn't go very far 200 years ago.
- Alex Scoble
And Americans didn't riot simply because of tea, Alex. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back...plus it didn't help that rum was cheap enough for them to get drunk on it before rioting. :)
- Alex Scoble
But you have to cough up your identity, and sometimes your possessions and papers, in order to try to travel, even within the US. The CBP has asserted that you have no Constituional rights within 100 miles of any border - this includes something like 80% of the US population. See: http://www.aclu.org/privacy... & http://papersplease.org/wp...

And again 200 years ago you would have effectively been traveling to France if you went west of the Mississippi river. :)

from IM
The Constitution shouldn't be changed lightly, but they couldn't have forseen everything. In many ways, we do have much greater freedoms, but in many other ways, we have less. Some of things they did put in are getting trampled. We live in a much more authoritarian society today than we have over our history.
- LogEx
Many ways we have less? I completely disagree. The difference in the level of the freedoms we've gained collectively, vs those that have been erroded (we haven't lost any) is huge.
- Alex Scoble
from IM
People who are afraid will easily give up their freedom in return for security. In the time of distress, freedoms should be held on even more tightly. People forget that parts of our society have gone thru times when they had no rights.
- Kim Landwehr
I don't personally see the decrease in states rights as an erosion of our personal freedoms, particularly when states have so often gotten the area of personal freedoms wrong.
- Alex Scoble
agree with Alex re states rights
- Chris Rogers
The point of states rights is to allow different states to do different things. If you don't like the laws in New York, move to Virginia. Federal laws cannot be escaped without leaving the country, which is a much higher hurdle.
- Alex Scrivener
But there are minimums that states must meet, which is as it should be. They can't do anything unconstitutional, for example. But allowing variation is wise, as our population is varied, and it provides a manner of competition.
- LogEx
Exactly, the constitution provided limits on the states as well as the Federal government.
- Alex Scrivener
Hell, Alex, we can settle this easily. Let's ask Thomas Hawk how easy it's been photographing the outsides of various office buildings. I'm sure he'll tell you what a picnic that's been. FREEDOM, BEE-YOTCHES.

BTW in Thomas Hawk's case, he has the freedoms...He's just having to fight for his freedoms against overzealous security guards. We should all thank him for sticking up for our rights.
