As many have stated, high fructose corn syrup, a product that comes from making ethanol. I remember grocery shopping before, younger people would not. The "snack " section in the store was not as large. When the by product started being used in the 70's, suddenly big chain markets expanded, and the "snack aisle" was soon dominant, less food is sold, but tons of products, processed foods, were in all of them. Cookies and cake mixes, crackers and chips, boxed cereals, soda, canned soups, ice cream. The dairy aisles, produce aisles, meat department shrink. There is very little real food to be had, in proportion to the processed and fructose laden products. You can buy real food on a limited budget, but it does not have the "variety" of all the other crap. It is poison, it is food for the slaves, cheap, filling, and will kill you off quick, ready for the next generation. Kicking it causes withdrawal, but worth it.Our bodies were made perfectly, but it is not made to digest this garbage.
