I'm sticking with my story that I'm avoiding processed as much as possible - so I stil don't want it in my system... but the ad campaign is pretty funny.
the corn producers have had a web site extolling the virtues of HFCs for a few years now... the ad campaign is for those who dont' read i suppose  |

"The medical profession thinks fructose is better for diabetics than sugar," says Dr. Field, "but every cell in the body can metabolize glucose. However, all fructose must be metabolized in the liver. The livers of the rats on the high fructose diet looked like the livers of alcoholics, plugged with fat and cirrhotic."

This was bad and to believe some people if not a lot believe this. I bet a lot of people didn't know that Corn has no nutritional value. If it did it would digest correctly. Why do you think it comes out the other side intact. That is why I try to do away with Corn all together. |

Uh...what are you talking about? Google. Google. Google. Corn has plenty of nutritional value.
If you're seeing it coming out the other side intact, you need to chew your food more. Seriously.
If you're thinking it "causes" pellagra, you're wrong. It doesn't. Pellagra is caused by a diet deficient in niacin, and it's found in some areas where corn is a main staple. Untreated corn is not a great source of niacin but that doesn't mean it has no nutritional value. | | |
