    Thanks for this--I've watched the first half hour but I'm getting sleepy. But, I already feel like throwing out the little bit of sugar I have in the house!

    Sleep well!!! And watch the rest as soon as you can; there is some amazing info that you don't want to miss!! I know how you feel about the "little bit of sugar" cuz I feel the same way! More than that, though, is the knowledge of the mechanism that astounds me! WOW!! I'm soooo thankful to the other poster who pointed this video out to us! Now I've been looking for anything I can find from Dr. Lustig and HFCS!

    All the best on your journey!

    This was very interesting and my kids are not going to be happy about not getting their weekend pop. I stopped drinking my 4+ can a day habbit of Diet Cherry Pepsi about 3 weeks ago and I can tell my body is happier for it. Sugar in any form is addictive and dangerous. This was a good reminder that my healthy and fit children will eventually show the effects of too much sugar in their diets. Can you believe the infant formual statement??!! Unbelievable that so many babies are drinking "milk shakes".

    My goal is to feel and be healthier, not just hit a number on the scale. This video made the case for that very well. Thanks for sharing!

    I will have to show this to my bf also..

    Without getting too high up on my soapbox and preachin', I'm trying to inform everyone I possibly can!!! In fact, when I go to see my doctor in a couple of weeks, I'm going to bring this info to her. This should be getting out there! Does the medical community think it should be kept hush-hush?! My gosh!

    For those that haven't watched it yet, I know it's 90 minutes, but worth it! You won't be sorry!

    All the best to you on your journey! :flowerforyou:

    My friend and I, over the years, have talked about why people are so obese and have cellulite at younger ages, and why the older people, like our mom's, don't have these problems. It might just have to do with this conspiracy to load us up with HFCS, like Dr. Lustig explains! And it all goes back to the age-old prob: greed.

    And now, I see in another thread, that there's a new movie out called Food, Inc. There's a clip on youtube. I'm gonna rent it when it comes out on dvd! Netflix has Supersize Me! on instant, and that sure is informational!

    I watched the rest of it--so helpful!! I too was appalled at the infant formula sugar content--outrageous! I am happy though that fruit is OK!!! I will be sending this video to friends/family.

    EVERYone needs to watch this, and learn what he's saying. It was very eye opening for me...scary, but very enlightening.
