High Fructose Corn Syrup

You know, it is a shame, a real shame, that we let it get here.

That the pursuit of the dollar got us here.

All that high Fructose corn syrup you've been eating (Yes, you likely do eat pre-packaged foods as they are so ubiquitous and "easy" to use.) only aids and abets cancer cells which can use the fructose better than the sugar.

Cancer Cells Slurp up Fructose.

I am a big believer in technology and the study of weird and wonderful things in an effort to both understand the underlying principals and just for the sheer fun of figuring stuff out. The universe is neat.

The question I often ask though is, why are we radically changing how we survive in a way that is fragile, that we do not understand the consequences of and in the way other empires have destroyed themselves with? Some say it was the marvellous hydrolic engineering and the resultant lead poisoning that ended the Roman empire. I wonder what will be our downfall?

Will the oil and hence the food run out, or will we figure out that pumping ourselves full of "good fats" destroys the laying down of proper nerve linkages?

I'm not sure, but if there is a buck in it, I'm sure we'll try it out.
