Erik, that was very interesting. To summarize it for people. The addition of high fructose corn syrup to Soda, Juices, Foods plays a huge roll in the current rate of obesity in America. Back in the days when Americans were getting all their sucrose(sugar) from fruits and vegetables, we were 25lbs lighter on average. I believe the sugar intake of the average American has quadrupled due to all the MAN MADE products today. Sugar turns into fat. Before you eat that processed food or drink that soda, take a look at the ingredients.
Just to be clear, fruits and veggies are the best source of fructose(sugar) because they are loaded with fiber and nutrients.
