Its sad how blind people are to what’s happening on our planet. HFCS is mostly GMO. The Mayo Clinic probably pays off the FDA like the big corps do. Cancer/diabetics are on the rise and food is the culprit. Wake up fellow humans. Don’t allow our food to be poisoned. We need to go back to basics. I’m sorry you’ll have to abandon your twinkies and processed foods and have a salad with a side of rice and beans. Illness can be cured with vegetables.

Interesting information but I’ll trust The Mayo Clinics position over a bloggers and they say the adverse effects are inconclusive at best. Really not much different than regular sugar. Research is ongoing but as of now NO accurate conclusions can be drawn.

Really? The Aztecs had the technology to alter DNA? There is a difference between GMO and using cross-pollination to create new variations naturally.

Research? Like the reference linked to in the article? or maybe like this?:

Monoculture

The United States grows all of its major commodity crops—corn, wheat, soybeans, and cotton—in monoculture. Sometimes crops in monoculture are rotated: corn often alternates with soybeans in a two-year rotation. Much corn, however, is grown in continuous cultivation—year after year in the same field.

Although they vary from year to year, the acreages devoted to single crops in the United States are enormous. U.S. farmers plant on the order of 50-70 million acres each of corn, soybeans, and wheat each year. But because so few crops are grown in such large acreages, the opportunities for crop rotation are also few.

This article is a joke. I’m no fan of fructose but don’t take me as an idiot. All is unnatural corn it modified by the Aztecs. From kenelers to the tasles. Second everyone rotates their crops because it prevents diseases. Which raises profit. Do your research.

Great article. It all started back in the 70′s when Nixon wanted to reduce the cost of food. That is when this country experienced a dramatic increase in heart disease, diabetes ext. Now in 2010, we consume 3 times the amount we did back then, sugar on top sugar on top of sugar, mostly from beverages.
