Pass me a can of liquid diabetes

For years I’ve referred to carbonated beverages as cans or bottles of ‘liquid diabetes’ and I’ve usually managed to avoid drinking them.

High sodium levels in soda pops along with sugars (or worse, aspartame) and coloring additives of uncertain origin are not health-promoting and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Now, in a surreal move, the Corn Refiners Association says that high fructose corn syrup is ‘natural’ and totally innocent of packing on the pounds as it lurks in almost every product our supermarkets hawk. And what genetically modified foods do to trigger our genes, no one is admitting, with corn being the veritable matrix of the world’s DNA.

To hold that these frankesteinian formulae that are being surreptitiously added to our foods won’t hurt us in any way is to place a ludicrously naive amount of faith in a corrupt system bent on profits at all costs so please check out the article by Mike Adams.

And put down that can of soda!
