Aren’t I artificially sweet?

The tastiest source for brain leisions.

Artificial sweeteners lead to real death.

You might have gathered by now that I’m not a fan of the added sugar in our processed foods, whether in fruit juice or whole wheat bread or sphaghetti sauce or whatever else.

Does that mean you should grab a bowl of splenda and a spoon?

Sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin are all cancer causing chemicals that should be avoided. The situation is like this: the corporate funded studies generally find no problems, while the privately funded studies generally find significant problems.  Who should you trust?  And who do you think the FDA sides with?

What’s the deal with bread?

Killing you?

Stop eating processed garbage carbs.

I hate to be the one to tell you if you this, but bread is not a health food.

Back in the day, say 150 years ago, bread used to always be a great, healthy, nutrient-dense food. There wasn’t white and wheat bread; there was just bread.  It was unprocessed and made from whole grains.  More on our unprocessed past from Mark Bittman.

Why is processing stupid?

Sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and your health

What makes Homer Homer?

High fructose corn syrup is the number 1 source of calories in the American diet.

Today I have a BIG ANGRY RANT to start this off, leave some comments after reading.

Is high fructose corn syrup worse than sugar? Corn production in America is terrible for the environment, uses genetically modified corn, and receives insane amounts of money from the federal government in the form of subsidies. These are all issues worthy of getting seriously pissed about.
