High-Fructose Corn Syrup |
Today we will talk about the food you are eating. From a dinner at home to?McDonalds at the square, we’re going to talk about all of it. Why? Well, because, you could die. I think it’s pretty important to read this post now, since I just said that. I could help you change your life.
Now, if you’re eating a snack right now, drop it. Don’t even say “But it’s healthy” because, it’s probably not. If your drinking a soda right now, drop that, too. Why? The US is the only country in the world, who’s food and drug administrations are governed by the same body. What that means is, the food and drug (like the doctor and medicine type of drugs) sections are controlled by the same section of the government. Which, is why the doctors are making so much money. In the next paragraph, I’ll tell you some of the things that’s bad for you.
For one, there’s high-fructose corn syrup. That’s what’s in your sodas, it’s what makes it sweet. Why is high-fructose corn syrup so bad (I’m going to call it HFCS) for you. Well, for one, it’s what makes you gain weight. It can also give you autism and diabetes! The government said it’s also just like sugar! Uh huh, and chocolate is just like mud. I learned all this from a site called http://www.thefitshack.com/2007/03/15/what-is-hfcs-and-why-is-it-so-bad-for-my-body/. I learned it was bad for me from my parents, but this site goes into all sorts of details and the comments on the post the site author made are also interesting. I recommend this?post to anyone who wants to start being healthy.
What the government does makes me sick. HFCS is awful and it can really hurt your body. Which is probably why it’s illegal to put HFCS in sodas in Mexico. My family and I started going on a healthier path. This isn’t the only thing that’s bad for you. My next post will be about MSG. I hope you keep reading so you can stay healthy.
