Obviously other people commenting here have experienced her emails.<BR/><BR/>Initially for me, the debate on high fructose corn syrup use to be unclear, but the concerns about HCFS argument became strongest when I was reading about diabetics and their experiences with HCFS compared to cane sugar. At a web forum for diabetics, one guy tried HCFS. Measured his blood sugar. Then he tried cane sugar. Measured his blood sugar. His blood sugar with HCFS was twice as high as his blood sugar with cane sugar. His comment is just above here http://tudiabetes.com/forum/topics/583967:Topic:261850?page=1&commentId=583967%3AComment%3A327678&x=1#583967Comment327678 {I couldn't figure out a direct link - sorry} <BR/><BR/>To be on a safe side, I've been encouraging others to join a campaign to get cola companies to switch to cane sugar or beet sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. Sign up at http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/dear-high-fructose-corn-syrup-please-get-out-of-us-colas-thanks-america<BR/><BR/>I joined. Hopefully this helps us to move beyond high fructose corn syrup & to promote better corporate responsibility. I'm crossing my fingers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-74721099439488279562008-08-29T17:07:00.000-04:002008-08-29T17:07:00.000-04:00http://www.buffalonews.com/opinion/everybodyscolum...http://www.buffalonews.com/opinion/everybodyscolumn/story/425033.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>...it is her response to this article...<BR/><BR/><BR/>http://www.buffalonews.com/185/story/421327.html<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>...she is as dangerous to my health as HFCS!<BR/><BR/><BR/>By the way a good read is "Sugar Blues" by William Dufty .

Yesterday, I looked at my e-mail, only to find one from Audrae Erickson, President of the Corn Refiners Association, telling me that I should look into the research on HCFS before continuing to advise AGAINST it, as I always do :) Anyone who wants the e-mail let me know. Unreal! lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-4776322951358807292008-06-25T13:40:00.000-04:002008-06-25T13:40:00.000-04:00I decided to go on a diet last year because I was ...I decided to go on a diet last year because I was very sick and overweight. My parents told me about High Fructose Corn Syrup and I decided to drop it and that meant pain to me! But I lost 25+ pounds and am healthier than ever!

By the way, I wouldn't consider the Atkins lifestyle a temporary diet--I've been eating this way for four years and counting. So far, so good! :DJimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-8187230944892418002008-02-13T22:17:00.000-05:002008-02-13T22:17:00.000-05:00Hi Jimmy, and Congrats on your Lifestyle change. I...Hi Jimmy, and Congrats on your Lifestyle change. I have become aware of this nasty stuff thru my own educational journey ( Yes I am t-2 D, and overweight). I started going Low carb ( again) only this time I made a complete change, not just a diet ( like atkins- temporary). This stuff HFCS scares the hell outta me. I educated my family about and have forbidden my youngest to ingest it. The problem is it is EVERYWHERE!<BR/><BR/>I went to get her a box of rice krispies, ( plain ole rice krispies, snap crackle and bland) and would you believe it? it was in there too.......(*GRRRRRR*) And Corn Flakes. Now the ingredients in Cornflakes are milled corn, sugar, salt, malt flavorings, why then do they need to also put HFCS in there? The sugar is there already.<BR/>It is NOT Replacing the sugar. I believe there is another reason for it, and I have yet to uncover why, BUT I am looking at all the girls in my daughters class ballooning in weight...It is frightening.<BR/><BR/>I dont want to scream conspiracy, but since I dont trust any entity of our gov't I HAVE TO WONDER THE REAL REASON.<BR/><BR/>AND I also heard from my local health food propeitor that they use GMO Corn... FRANKENFOODS to make HFCS!KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206920431503040577noreply@blogger.com
