Why Are They Advertising High Fructose Corn Syrup?

[infamous199]

THis is redicuolous and nasty. HFCS is really poison. Once its in your system its almost like having plastic in your blood arteries. Plus it has alot ofmercury. Rediculous stuff all to make a few more cents in profit. Guys also watch out when products say "NO High Fructrose Corn Syrup" that onlymeans theres not enough in each mililgram of the product according to the fda to declare it free of HCFS but in reality it is still in the food. THe sameapplies to Trans-fat if there is only under .15 milligrams for each grams in the product then they cna declare it no trans fat. Bunch of gimmicks!

I think you guys are over reacting. I don't really think the commercials are really even advertising HFCS. It doesn't say go out and buy HFCS(Idon't even think that is possible, is it?). All it is saying is not to recoil in fear once you see it on the ingredients. They aren't saying it ishealthy. All they are saying that it is fine in moderation. Any "bad" food is fine in moderation. Even McDonald's is okay to eat once in a whileif your normal diet consists of healthy food.

I just think that after all the horrible stuff that has been said about HFCS, the companies just wanted to give their take.

What's your beef with fluoride in the water?

When watching that video it is important to listen to the exact words they are using. All the sicknesses linked to fluoride are from exposure to HIGHCONCENTRATIONS. The amount of fluoride in drinking water is very low, especially in comparison to the dosages in the studies. Many of the negative effects ithas on teeth is caused by over ingestion, most usually from children swallowing fluoridated toothpastes.

You can argue that I am biased because I work in the dental profession. Honestly, I am not for or against fluoride. I believe people should just be educatedabout it before making their decisions.

The benefit to fluoridated water is to children with no access to dental care. In the past, many parents did not pay attention to their child's dentalhealth and ended up having to pay big bucks they cant afford to dentists. After fluoridating the water there was a vast improvement in prevention of toothdecay.

The best argument against fluoride is the freedom of choice. Did I choose to have it put in my water...

I love this thread, I've been off HFCS for about a year now, not completely because there were a couple times where I had some soda at a party or mixedwith my drink, but there is truth to staying away from un-natural ingredients and over processed foods because the human body is meant to intake greaterquality food.

And don't get me started on corn, i've hated the damn thing since I was 5 and it used to get stuck in my teeth, but when I read years ago about it nothave any good nutritional value, I gave the report to my parents to rub it in their faces.

The thing about the fluoride in the water is a little bit sketchy, I know high concentrations are damaging but fluoride in water is good for your teeth...or sothey say.

I made a thread earlier this year about NT getting healthy but nobody was having it after stuffing their faces for the holidays. I think I may restart it soon.
