One would be hard-pressed to believe that it is healthier to consume large amounts of an artificially created sweetener that ultimately overwhelms the liver as opposed to eating non-processed cane sugar/maple syrup/honey that can be metabolized by the whole body on a infrequent basis....

Wow, I'm glad this came out, because hopefully now all the talk about mercury being in silver restorations will go away. Now they can focus their efforts on what everyone puts into their body from day-to-day.

If they cared what they were doing to us, they would just quit tampering with our food and eat the way nature intened and what our bodies were created to eat..

It has baffeled me how they banned trans fats but you don't hear anything about banning partially hydrogenated oils when they have known for years what this stuff does to us.. They just don't care.. Give us stuff to make us sick so they can treat us with their drugs and keep the doctors, big pharma, and hospitals in business.
