Corn is bad for you?

>>4258
yeah the body can't digest it properly that's why it's an issue that the stuff is in pretty much everything nowadays

>>4259
You mean high fructose corn sugar, that's not the same as freshly boiled corn....ri..right?

>>4260
I remember those commercials for the high fructose corn syrup that were basically like "It's no worse for you than corn" and I could only be astounded by how they managed to dance around the subject.

Clever girl.

That's the talk of someone who isn't eating enough corn.

>>4259
Also the whole "we know it fucks up our livers, but we're not entirely sure why it fucks up our livers" thing. Not that it stops anyone.

>>4281
Whoa, what?

dried popcorn kernels do shit to your liver. My grandfather's been detoxed once because he would go out to watch a movie at least twice a week since he was 22.

>4. One of the sweeteners that has way more fructose than high-fructose corn syrup: Agave nectar. It's somewhere between 70% and 87% fructose, while most of the high-fructose corn syrup you'll run into is only 55% fructose. Other natural sweeteners, like honey and apple sugar, are also in the range of around 50% fructose. There's no solid evidence that shows this fructose to be any different than the fructose in high-fructose corn syrup. If you're really concerned about fructose (And I'm not sure you should be yet. Most of those studies are dealing with pure fructose in test tube or animal research, not real-life mixtures of sugar in human bodies.) your best bet may be maple syrup, which is only 1% fructose.

>My take: Keep an eye out for added sugars—of all kinds—in products. If you're worried about empty calories and weight gain, that's your real concern. But don't stress too much about this. Cutting down on the added sugars in your life is good. But a little added sugar isn't going to kill you. And high-fructose corn syrup isn't more of a worry than any other sweetener.

HFCS is bad for you because eating too much sugar of any kind is bad for you. The real problem of HFCS is that it's so fucking cheap you find it everywhere. It's ridiculously easy to overshoot your daily calorie intake using normal grocery stores items.
