Really....and you're convinced we have watchers in those shitholes making sure you get pure, unadulterated food? There's the bullshit, moron. The slants have sent us everything from poison baby food to pesticide slathered wallboard. Got any idea the damage that garbage means long term from a single exposure?

Checked out what you pancake syrup is lately? It ain't maple surple anymore...it's corn syrup....
More bullshit. Maple syrup IS maple syrup. You can't call it maple syrup if it isn't. "Pancake syrup" is not saying it's maple syrup.
It's also not saying it's "surple" but that's an interesting word coin. Mrs. Buttholeworth's could use that for a blueberry flavor.
With artificial bloobs from a lab, of curse.
Did I say pancake syrup is called maple syrup anymore, moron? No I didn't. It's corn syrup DYED to appear to be maple syrup. caveat emptor fool.
You sure as hell tried to imply that before I busted you, which is seven seconds I'll never get back.
Pancake syrup has NEVER been called maple syrup unless it IS maple syrup.
And both the fact that they had to find a weasel-word term for it, AND the ingredient label that lets us discriminate between them ---- are the result of having the FDA.
I always enjoy you reverting into your angry old hippie mode.But the only thing you "busted" was your own reading retention....You'd best invest in some new trifocals, Elmer.
I accept your apology. Flailing though it is.

Blaming/banning trans-fats isn't going to a damn thing. Heart disease and obesity will continue to rise....fact. Sugar is what is killing us, sugar is what is causing obesity, sugar is what is causing heart disease. Sugar is in everything and until we get it out of our food products banning trans-fats will have ZERO impact. Its all a sham
Can't agree C_K. Sugar is guilty as sin, and point well taken that it's in everything, no question ---but it's no lone gunman. What's happened to wheat alone proves there is at the very least a second shooter. Conspriacy!
I've been circumventing sugar for decades. It helps but it's no longer enough.

Agree there is no Lone Gunman but it is at the very top of the list (#1 spot) of things that people need to really pay attention to. It's deadly and addictive. Food companies are trying to keep understandable levels of sugar off their labels. 32 grams of sugar looks a lot better than reading you are consuming 8 teaspoons of sugar in that soft drink you just bought. Couple that with all the corn syrup in just about everything people consume in their foods and you will see that sugar is the main culprit of health problems in our society.
Problem is people like sweets/sugar and don't want to know that it is literally killing them, so they will deny and point the finger else where. TRANS FATS are killing us!!!! Buzzzzzzzz!!!!! Wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!
If everyone read labels and avoided sugars and did nothing else, the rates of obesity and health problems would go down tremendously.
I agree with the first part about sugar but I still disagree with the latter part. Again, when my weight builds up I can lop off at least 30 pounds by making literally no changes other than cutting out wheat. That's (a) got nothing to do with sugars, and (b) is a substance that's pervasively distributed in the food supply almost as much as sugars are. It just isn't as simple as "cut sugar -- problem solved". I can easily put on weight without sugar at all.

Foods containing wheat usually contain corn syrups and other sugars. Look at a loaf of 100% Natural Wheat bread and its anything but natural and healthy. Not to mention wheat products have a high glycemic index and are converted to sugars very quickly, so yes it's got everything to do with sugars. Whether its from a candy bar or loaf of white, wheat or whole grain bread. These high glycemic index foods wreak havoc on our insulin levels and body fat levels (not to mention the health problems)
You're dropping off weight not because of wheat itself but because of the wheat containing products you are consuming. I can write books on this.
I thought by sugars you meant sugars, not glycogen -- i.e. what's in the food as opposed to what our body does with it. The latter is post-processing. Glycogen is our fuel; we'd cease to live without it.
I substitute something non-wheat, actually intake more, and still lose weight so I believe it is intrinsic to wheat. It has to do not with the glycogen it produces but how today's mutated wheat affects the digestive process. Wheat is a grass that is a very recent addition to the human food chain, and it's quite a different
plant from what it was a century or less ago.
I defer here to the good doctor...
>> Today's "wheat" ... isn't even wheat, thanks to some of the most intense crossbreeding efforts ever seen. "The wheat products sold to you today are nothing like the wheat products of our grandmother's age, very different from the wheat of the early 20th century, and completely transformed from the wheat of the Bible and earlier," he says. Plant breeders changed wheat in dramatic ways. Once more than four feet tall, modern wheat—the type grown in 99 percent of wheat fields around the world—is now a stocky two-foot-tall plant with an unusually large seed head. Dr. Davis says accomplishing this involved crossing wheat with non-wheat grasses to introduce altogether new genes, using techniques like irradiation of wheat seeds and embryos with chemicals, gamma rays, and high-dose x-rays to induce mutations.
... So what does all of this plant science have to do with what's ailing us? Intense crossbreeding created significant changes in the amino acids in wheat's gluten proteins, a potential cause for the 400-percent increase in celiac disease over the past 40 years. Wheat's gliadin protein has also undergone changes, with what appears to be a dire consequence. "Compared to its pre-1960s predecessor, modern gliadin is a potent appetite stimulant," explains Dr. Davis. "The new gliadin proteins may also account for the explosion in inflammatory diseases we're seeing."
The appetite-stimulating properties of modern wheat most likely occurred as an accidental by-product of largely unregulated plant-breeding methods, Dr. Davis explains. But he charges that its impact on inflammatory diseases may have something to do with the fact that, in the past 15 years, it's been showing up in more and more processed foods. Wheat ingredients are now found in candy, Bloody Mary mixes, lunch meats, soy sauce, and even wine coolers. (The irony is that "healthy" wheat can actually make you nutrient deficient.)
As if making you hungrier weren't enough, early evidence suggests that modern wheat's new biochemical code causes hormone disruption that's linked to diabetes and obesity. -- The Dark Side of "Healthy" Wheat
