Of course not.
But the converse isn't true either.
Here is one more clinical paper on HFCS:

I thought it was a known fact hfcs was unhealthy for us...which is why most food companies started eliminating it from their food products years ago?6 -

It's spelled "Big Phama" and I actually have worked in the industry.

They also invest a lot into research and help millions of people lead longer and more productive lives.
I could be wrong, but I figured he was using Farma to refer to those fruit and vegetable farmers, not pharmaceutical companies.WeAreTheWeirdo wrote: »It cracks me up this may have been moved here because chit chatters are perhaps high-fructose syrup-drugged debauchery-filled wastlings-in-denial.

Next should be "eat less food".
Oh yes. That could go on for 28 riveting pages of academic condescension and comparisons between rodent and human study citations. And maybe they'll even say N = 1 because that's the ballz. And of course they'll insert the phrase high nutrient density into the discussion. Because all normal people talk like that in day to day conversation. I can't wait.
And I thought we were getting along fabulously these last few weeks.

I don't know if that's true or not.
Thing is, I made up my mind about HFCS years ago. When shopping, if HFCS is on a product label, that product doesn't go home with me.
I'm sure I get enough of the stuff, by my own negligence, when having a meal outside of the home.
IMHO ~ the refute the ill effects of HFCS is the apotheosis of denial.2 -

Oh okay, my mistake. (the perils of posting on just one cup of coffee.)
Yeah, alright..... I'm not sure how Big Farming misleads us.
Thinking out loud here.... maybe all of the grain fed beef and hormones and additives?
If that's the point, then it's a difficult one to argue, right?
The truth is, I don't like big anything... big government, big business, big religion, big Pharma, big labor organizations (the only exception is a relatively large national defense).
problem is, we live in a big nation and a big world, so a lot of this is inevitable.
ramble / rant over; thanks for listening.2 -

I wish I could drink coffee. It seems like a good thing for so many people. Would probably go good with those pecan rolls.

Coffee is my only true vice ( and when it comes to vices, it's pretty benign by comparison).
I didn't even have my first cup until I was 30 years old.
Now, mornings don't start without it.

Even the smell of it nauseates me, so I'm doubtful that I'll ever be a coffee drinker. Consumption in even small amounts leaves me feeling ill for several hours. It's really weird.0 -

Yep, it's obviously not for you.
I feel the same way about wine.

Here I was thinking Laverne and Shirley or Lucy and Ethel.2 -
I would concede that honey is as dangerous to us as HFCS. I do consume both, in modest amounts.
I am living in the middle of big farming country. Yes, it's a business. Around here it's mostly canola, barley (for your beer), and beef. Yes, the farmers are in it to make money. Funny thing is, it's not the rich farmers that take shortcuts. Everyone benefits from inexpensive, expertly grown foods.1 -
