GPrime is a murderer. Being this spicy should be illegal.

Just remember that high fructose corn syrup is literal GMO poison. They modified corn syrup to have (I believe) a 52 / 48 ratio of fructose to glucose. Excessively high amounts of fructose can cause damage to the liver just like heavy drinking. Excess fructose is chewed through in the liver and spit out in the form of triglycerides, which leads to hypertension and diabeetus. The phosphoric acid in Coca Cola can eat through metals such as a copper penny if left to soak long enough, and I believe it has an effect on the calcium in our bones as well (I don't have positive proof of this, but I think I read it somewhere). Heck, a great use for Coke is to clean your toilet bowl with a multi-hour soak because the acids will eat stains and loosen particulates!
TLDR and more citations needed: STOP DRINKING THAT SHIT
I will have a Coca Cola or other soda every so often as a TREAT.... and it is ALWAYS (at least) the kind made with real sugar (which really isn't much better but at least it's not HFCS). I can only handle about 8 oz of the stuff before I want to dump the rest down the drain.
Correct, I read years ago that it would take 9 glasses of fresh vegetable juice to counter the mineral leaching effects that one can of soda has on our bones.
If that's true then why have I never broken a single bone?
Get the Cokes made in Mexico. They still use real sugar. And since it's Coke, I would think that they would be treating their water. I used to work at a Pepsi bottler, and they had their own water treatment plant so that everything in the drink would be the same everywhere and Pepsi would taste exactly the same anywhere in the US.
If you're going to buy Mexican coke, make sure the ingredients list says "cane sugar" and not just "sugar." "Sugar" by itself usually means beet sugar which is also GMO and has a whole host of its own problems.
Sugar has no genetic material in it, so it doesn't matter if the plant is GMO or not.
Yeah that's why I specified sodas made with real sugar were preferable IF I do have a soda. There's still the issue of the acids, but you just don't get that "zest" without it. Mexican Cola is good... although I've always been a Pepsi guy myself. And after Coke went Woke, I'm pretty much done with their shit.
Grapes are full of fructose (fruit sugar). Are they bad for you too?
Concentrated fructose is different than fruit sugar naturally occurring along with plant fibers that may also contain prebiotic qualities that help slow down the absorption of sugars. HFCS is a genetically modified industrial product that is sweeter than standard fructose and thus has a higher impact on the body. Any excess amount of fructose intake is not good; even without HFCS, you can still cause problems by consuming too much fruit juice.
I'm not a biologist or a scientist so my knowledge of this topic is somewhat limited -- I only have what I learned by working in the foodservice and food retail industry and doing my own light research on the topic.
Fructose is a simple chemical compound. The fructose in corn syrup is identical to the fructose in fruit, so it is exactly the same sweetness. Fructose is sweeter than regular sugar. That's the purpose of the corn syrup conversion, to use less product and save a little money.
Perhaps drinking a whole bottle of Karo syrup might not be good for you.
The real problem is that people are buying a lot of things that sneak in sugar to make you want them more. Even peanut butter has sugar in it. Look at a jar of Jif. The #2 ingredient is sugar.
People just need to read labels carefully and make their own choices.
“...and I believe it has an effect on the calcium in our bones as well...”
Correct. The high phosphorus content in all dark colas leeches calcium from the bones, your kidneys filter the excess calcium from your blood and you piss it out.
Damn, thanks for the comprehensive link. I'm gonna need a lot of time to digest that.
What I need to do is get an e-reader with a non-LCD screen because staring at these computers all the time is bad on the eyes. The e-ink readers are preferable because they require no harsh screen technology to display an image. We worry about what we put in our bodies but not what we expose the outside of our bodies to. Worrying about what we eat and yet are fine with bathing ourselves in chemicals on a daily basis. Very bizarre...
