Does high fructose corn syrup scare you ? It is a big part of why I gave up drinking soda pop.

You are asking me if corn syrup mixed with glucose mixture scares me?
No, it doesn't.

yeah, it does. considering most of what consumers eat and drink is loaded with the stuff.

we have been trying to eliminate it from our diet for a few weeks now, and we're actually feeling better...

No its just a way of processing sugar, that is more economical....however soda does scare the **** out of me.

A single can of soda has 12 tablespoons of sugar in it!
Enough that you would throw up instantly after drinking it if it didn't have so much lactic acid in it.
The sugar + caffine makes you high, which makes soda addicting.

I used to weigh 265 pounds I stopped drinking soda (among a few other little things) and got down to 198 (back to like 220 now though...damn you mom and your meatloaf!).

Good show, Sir. Good show.

Back to the question: not normally, but one time it jumped out of the pantry wearing one of those Freddie masks and I pissed myself.

Can't believe corn syrup has a lobby. Those commercials are ridiculous. And being diabetic yes, it does scare me a little. But then again I can totally kick a can of pops ass so I guess I'm not that scared.
