He never said that sugar wasn't processed. He said you have to change the actual chemical composition of corn to make it HFCS, you have to change it CHEMICALLY, thus making it into a different substance. The sugar inside those plants is the exact same sugar in your bowl except its been PHYSICALLY changed. The sugar in those plants is the exact same thing as what you put on your corn flakes.

It's just corn syrup put through an enzyme. Do you know what enzymes are? Do you know you have lots of enzymes in your body?

Excuse me while I go change the chemistry of my steak by throwing it on the BBQ. I might even add an ENZYME (ohgaboohghaboogha) of tenderizer to it.

Just because we disagree with you, doesn't mean we don't know what we're talking about. It's been around since the 50's so I don't know why the freakout now. Other than people want to blame something other than their laziness for getting fat.

Carbohydrates are always -- ALWAYS -- metabolized into glucose. The rate at which they metabolize determines their "glycemic index", or the rate at which they cause blood sugar to rise (that is, the rate at which the glucose enters the bloodstream).

You are actually incorrect.

http://www.brianmac.co.uk/nutrit.htm
"Your digestive system converts the carbohydrates in food into glucose, a form of sugar carried in the blood and transported to cells for energy. The glucose, in turn, is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Any glucose not used by the cells is converted into glycogen - another form of carbohydrate that is stored in the muscles and liver. However, the body's glycogen capacity is limited to about 350 grams; once this maximum has been reached, any excess glucose is quickly converted into fat."


http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1100.html
"In the body, carbohydrate is metabolized mainly into glucose, a major source of immediate energy, which is delivered to body cells. Any extra carbohydrate is converted to glycogen (a source of glucose and reserve energy stored in the liver and muscle tissues of humans and animals), or fatty acids, which are later stored as body fat. Therefore, although fat calories are most easily converted to fat in the body, calories from carbohydrate, as well as from protein, will also be transformed into body fat if these calories are not expended."

High fructose corn syrup is like manna and it is not wise to question where manna comes from. God provides it pure and simple and you are to eat it and give Him thanks.

You're all sounding like a bunch of liberal hyper-educated heathens right now!

I pray in Jesus' name!!

meh, these scientists like to put fancy names to every day things.

I mean I would hate to see the horrors these people could make baking a cake sound like, with all the glutens and bicarbonate of soda causing CO2 to react.

It's still just baking a cake.

Have one describe the common cold to you and you'd think they were dying of the rarest disease on earth.
