I don't know if it's HFCS in Tomato soup, or some other type of sugar, but I was shocked to see that there is practically as much sugar in tomato soup as there is in Fruit Loops

It is lurking in everythign!

So true. My family's farm (which I wasn't raised on, but visited yearly) was a mixed farm, but pigs were the main meat animal.

They would be fed a very diverse diet including table scraps and forage which was mostly acorns and mushrooms. This made them so healthy that they required no preventative medicine and they rarely got sick. They were muscular and lean.

Then, they would be fed a corn feed, exclusively, until they literally became "Porkers". It was pretty pathetic to see these things bulk up. But that's how bacon is made.

Now we are turning humans into bacon machines.

A can of soda contains about 2.5 times as much sugar as a an equal glass of whole milk.
Milk, 240 grams, contains 11 grams of sugars.
Soda made with cane sugar, 360 grams, contains 40 grams of sugars. (43 grams sugar if HFCS).
