What's wrong with a little high fructose corn syrup?
Feb 17th, 2010 (12:34 AM)
As much as I hate to say it...this video is kind of cool.
Having a Coke is a real rarity for me. We never had sweet stuff growing up (except for Ginger ale and jello when we were sick go figure) but on pizza days at school I'd get a pepsi or coke. Now about once or twice a year I'll have a cola with a piece of pizza, and it is always delicious, nostalgic bliss. But were it a regular thing I doubt I'd get the same enjoyment from it.
(fyi I'm in my early twenties, in case this had too much of a WHEN I WAS A CHILD THERE WAS NO COLA~~~~ feel to it)

Nah, just an "I never put toxins from industrial foods into my temple!" vibe.

reasons why you should avoid HCFS because it:
Travels straight to the liver where it is metabolized to fat. In fact, fructose converts to fat more than any other sugar.
Contributes to the development of diabetes and tissue damage. A recent study presented at the 2007 national meeting of the American Chemical Society found new evidence that soft drinks sweetened with high fructose corn syrup contains high levels of reactive compounds that have been shown by others to trigger cell and tissue damage that cause diabetes.
Does not stimulate insulin production or enhance leptin, a hormone involved in appetite regulation. Because insulin and leptin act as key signals in regulating how much food you eat, this suggests that dietary fructose may contribute to increased food consumption and weight gain.
Contains no enzymes, vitamins or minerals; instead, it takes micronutrients from your body while it assimilates itself for use. The fructose in HFCS is different from the natural fructose you get when you eat a small piece of whole fruit, which contains the nutrients needed for your body to assimilate sugar.
Increases your triglyceride and LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. Triglycerides are the chemical form of fat found in foods and in your body. Studies show that elevated blood levels of triglycerides increases your risk of heart disease.
Is almost always made from genetically modified corn, which may radically increase your risk of developing corn food allergies. The problem with corn allergies are that once you have a corn allergy from GMO corn you will have an allergy to even healthy organic corn products.
One important detail you leave out is the quantity of high fructose corn syrup needed for any problems to arise.
I said a little. A soda here and there isn't going to fuck you up.

I don't think I would eat food being handed to me by mysterious hands in a coke machine.

This reminds me of the old Batman show episode where the Milk Machine in the gymnasium runs amok and gives out free Milk. Batman has to put a stop to it before the youth get used to 'stealing' milk. In the end it turns out to be a plot by the Joker to destroy the morals of the youth using wholesome milk products.
Not to mention they are drinking milk and playing basketball - which is a terrible idea really.
They had a milk machine in our school - turns out kids don't buy enough of it to prevent the milk from going bad. SO you buy a 'big chug' milk from a vending machine and its expired, what then.
The the whole time I watched this I assumed it was coke telling us that if a machine goes haywire and gives you a free soda, don't feel bad about stealing - just be happy. Er ok.
clever virals where you aren't sure what you're being sold I can handle. This is just kinda excessivelameocity.

tl,dr but drinking a soda every now and then is not going to be your demise. you'll probably die in a factory accident or playing around with a knife before that can of dr. pepper kills you. studies show all kinds of stuff depending on how they want to interpret the data (... like global warming). the psychological pleasure a soda gives you is worth it. just don't drink it for every meal every day.

Diabetes is a myth promoted by the orange juice industry to get you to stop drinking coke.

Yes, but the same things are true of table sugar, cane sugar, honey, and that agave syrup shit is even worse (sucrose and honey vary by only a few % in the glucose:fructose ratio from HFCS, while agave syrup has significantly more fructose). The problem with HFCS is that it's so cheap manufacturers put tons of it in everything.
Hence, the perfectly reasonable conclusion is to avoid eating large amounts of any processed/added sugar, not demonize HFCS beyond what it is.

When you find a product that doesn't abuse HFCS, then we can move it to the safe list. Until then, it's bad simply because if it's included in the ingredients, it's included in a bad way.

You know why HFCS sucks? It's so bland! If you can, import some Coca-Cola from Mexico; they still use cane sugar. If not, wait until Passover and look for Coke with a yellow cap. They produce a kosher version of the soda by using real sugar, and we call that "the good stuff".
The taste pops more, like the difference between SD and HD TV.

Coke is wonderful isn't it? Look at the smiles and how much fun they are having. This cup of coffee I'm drinking is shit. It's raining outside, and I'm still in my underpants reading fazed. I need some Coke to brighten up my life. Some of that happy looking college pussy would be good too.

WORD CHAOS, WORD. I'm not sure exactly how many Jewish Student society events I went to but I'm sure it was a lot. I'm a fiend for bagels, cream cheese, and salmon lox, let alone when it's free lol.
Good god that was sickening.

Using naive college students to symbolize the five year old daughter of the Coke industry is anything but good times.
I don't get it.. The machine was broken.. So why didn't they call a repair man!? And what happened to being honest! They just kept the stolen beverages!! At least they got it all on campus cameras..

At my buddies superbowl party after returning to the cooler for another bear, I noticed bottles of cokes. I grabbed one instinctually, remembering "Coke in a bottle tastes better". Boy, was I happy to see it was MEXICAN coke! Viva le sucre!!! Yup! Real sugar, I never went back to the beer, just pounded cokes all day. High Fructose Corn Syrup is garbaged peddled to us by the subsidized corn industry. I support mexico whenever possible.
Every now and then a coke is ok. If you have one once a day you are slowly killing yourself.
But as I say, "Everything in moderation- including MODERATIONS!"
Peace
