RE: High Fructose Corn Syrup- The Obesity Sugar

WoW, an excellent article! UpVoted and referred to. ;)

"It is also no shock, that, food manufacturers are more interested in lining their pockets than preserving our health." Preserving health is not one of their (measurable) strategic goals.
Any correlation between major global food producers and medico/pharma corps?

Thank you for your Kind comments!

Yes, you can research Ancel Keys, he was a scientist who blamed Cholesterol as the 'heart killer.' Turns out, he manipulated the study to favor sugar and margarine manufacturers. Cholesterol Medication (Statins) also happen to be the best selling pharmaceutical now. Im sure you can see the correlation here. You can read this article, it will shed some more light on the matter https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-industry-shifted-blame-to-fat.html

Sure, this correlation only reveals a familiar pattern, which we constantly experience in various fields (and industries). Few days ago I read an excellent article from my former university professor explaining details of current 'neoliberal predatory capitalism' (unfortunately not in English). Great explanation with interesting patterns descriptions.

Thanks for info and link!
One in return, though I'm sure you've already seen dr. Lustig's famous lecture: 'Sugar - The bitter Truth - very informative. Or a little shorter interview with him: Type 2 Diabetes is a Processed Food Disease. I love his lectures and work.

Added you on my 'following' list, have to check your other posts. ;)

Thanks for your support!

Yes, we see can see this patterns in all industries. My father always says, "follow the money trail, and you will find the truth." A sad, but, accurate way of viewing things.

I am familiar with Dr. Lustig’s work. He has done a really good job spreading the ‘good word’ on the internet. We definitely need more guys like him in this world.
