    Please all Google and try understand if not it's ok I don't know what else to say but tax sugar :D:D

    I googled "do aliens live among us"...this was like the 2nd or 3rd link...they even make sure to include the phrase, "After all of these years of research" to...well...you know, head off the skeptical up front...

    http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/vida_alien/blueplanetproject/blueplanetproject02.htm

    Just google it isn't going to cut it...

    All this link tells me is that South America and the US are under alien invasion. People in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Africa seem to be safe from UFO crashes.

    When you take one sugar and add it to something else like food. It's a chemical reaction as it cannot go back to its natural state.
    Once again, I ask do you have any scientific (reputable) sources to back up this hogwash?
    Yes, it is hogwash, because science doesn't back-up what you're saying.

    If you want me to bore you I would but at end of it everyone makes there on beliefs in things so........

    Your beliefs are not backed up/proved by scientific research. I believe in science, not hogwash.

    DO you even know how obesity is caused?
    Hint: It's not sugars fault. People shove foods into their mouths...that's how people get fat.

    So have you actually read through this thread? I mean, it's 41 pages and so I know it's a lot, but most of this has been discussed previously about whether or not this tax would actually have the an impact on obesity.

    Yes yogurt yes.

    I'm confused what game we are playing now. Was there a question you wanted answered about lactose? It would be helpful if you could ask them more directly if you wanted to better understand something about the chemical composition of certain foods.
