  1. Re:Ask a doctor... on High Fructose Corn Syrup To Get a Makeover · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This sounds crazy, but I had this exact conversation with my daughter's doctor yesterday, and she really didn't have much to say about HFCS either (nothing beyond "sugar is bad" anyway). Though based on various research studies that I've seen recently, and the number of food companies dropping HFCS in their products, I expect this to hit the news in a huge way sometime soon.

    Whoever modded this as a Troll really should read about the horrible things done to veal cows:

    Inhumane treatment, in this situation, involved calves that appeared to have been skinned alive, kicked, dragged, and shocked while conscious.

    Take a gander at wikipedia or youtube and search for newscasts about this kind of thing.

    Personally I think they should rename HFCS to diabetiesucrulos instead.

    I also noticed that when I stopped eating crap that had HFCS in it, I no longer got drowsy in the afternoon. In fact I can tell right away when I've eaten something with HFCS in it, as I inevitably get drowsy not long afterwards. Needless to say I avoid it like the plague now, and so far have lost 40lbs since I stopped eating it.

    I can audit the code myself, or pay someone else to audit it. Also thousands and possibly millions of people are already auditing it, for free! I can fix the bugs myself, or pay someone to fix them.

    I wonder how many bugs like this are lurking in closed source products, just waiting to be discovered and exploited?
