Do you think it is a coincidence
Do you think it is a coincidence that studies which are funded by interests related to the study subject are four times more likely to return a result which is favorable to the funders than independent non-commercially funded studies?
Always follow the money - and there is big money at stake when it comes to high fructose corn syrup because it is cheaper than sugar. Profits will win out over health concerns every time - such is the story of how greed has corrupted our food industry as well as our medical industry, other industries and our for-sale-to-the-highest-bidder government and increasingly put our health at risk. Which is not to say that sugar is healthy, just less unhealthy.
One of these days I am going to finish my upcoming book "The Four Horses of the Modern Health Apocalypse" and detail just how the aforementioned groups have been corrupted by greed to the point that not only is our present health being endangered - so is the health and very survivability of future generations. Increased toxins, lower nutrition, increased chronic illness, lower immune markers, lower sperm count, and on and on. Stay tuned, I'm working on it.
