The Obese are starting to really piss me off

[tonorator]

Yup.... it is the High Fructose Corn Syrup that is the root of all dietary evil.

great point here.

 

challenge to all huddlers - try to go a week without consuming anything with HFCS. it is darn near impossible. it is amazing how many products this cheap sweetner has found its way into. after looking at some web sites about the stuff, its pretty scary. this is an unnatural additive that does nothing but destroy your health.

 

i have nearly cut it out of my diet and just by doing so, have lost 5-10 pounds. i'm surprised that no one has put the "avoid HFCS" diet book out there yet.

To be honest with you asstard, I did start drinking Diet Coke to drop some poundage.  But after a few years of not having the "real" coke, I myself prefer the diet.  The real stuff is too hard on me and the diet is just easier for me to drink.  I ran out of DC last week at work and only had the regular coke.  I tried 2 sips and poured it out.  Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Bingo. I drink Diet Coke whether I'm eating a double bacon cheeseburger and fries or a salad with fat-free dressing.

I haven't actually had any sort of soda pop in almost 2 years, quit it with the cigs at the same time.

 

 

Now i consume about 2 gals. of crystal light lemonade every day. Tastes better to me, but the aside of any weight issues, it's GREAT for the teeth

If you're gonna post something that's rude and offensive at least have it be an original idea.  You regurgitating someone elses jokes is more obscene than my man-boobed avy.

With the Fantasy seasons all but wrapped up, Winter's chill steadily upon us, and the NFL's final game of the season just days away, it is quite interesting to see which new species of fish make the migration south to the Tailgate for the offseason. Some of them will survive the journey. Others, as must always be the case, will not make it. Some will be hunted for their fresh newbie meat, some will wither into obscurity afraid to post among the veterans who have already marked their territory.

darn near impossible to avoid it totally. It is everywhere.. i nbread, in juice, in soups, in yogurts, everything.

 

But, cutting it out as much as possible can do wonders for a persons health.

[Guest THEbigred]

You know who really pisses me off?  The skinny.  I mean, come on.  Have a frickin' milkshake.  What, one crouton on your one piece of lettuce is enough?  Thimble-full of water? Come on. 

 

Actually, now that I think about it, you know who REALLY get to me?  Redheads.  Do they have red arm hair?  That's gross!  And don't even get me started on fire crotches.  That's unquestionably the worst thing ever!

 

While we're on the subject, I get so pissed off when people have vanity license plates.  I mean, who do they think they are?  Individuals? 

 

And those darn people with 4 letters in their name.  Ooooh, look at me, my name is 4 letters long.  I'm cool.

 

 

Nappy, you are a tool.  Go outside and play.

er I hate to break it to you, but having a diet coke with an extremely fatty, greasy meal is pretty retarded. Sounds like it hit close to home.

 

lol @ the crybaby fatties w/their panties all in knots over that post and LMAO @ calling someone else a tool while spitting on them with insults that my 4-yr old nephew would find lame. Have a coke and a smile and lighten up Fat Albert.

Is this any artificial sweetener? Would this be along the lines of Sweet-n-Low, Splenda, Equal? I am intrigued now.

This joke wasn't funny in 1999, and it's still not funny.  Maybe they like the taste of diet Coke.  You're alone in your retardation, fella.

No, it is not the same with any artificial sweetener. Those sweeteners are low to no calorie sugar substitutes that do not trigger the insulin response that sugar does.

 

HFCS however is extremely high calorie, and, as noted in my previous posts, unlike regular sugar, does not trigger the sense of fullness associated with consuming calories, thus why people are able to drink mass quantities of soda and eat an enitre box of twinkies without feeling full.... yet still consuming many thousands of calories.

 

Then they wonder why their waistline keeps expanding.

"There's a couple of other murky things that consumers should know about HFCS. According to a food technology expert, two of the enzymes used, alpha-amylase and glucose-isomerase, are genetically modified to make them more stable. Enzymes are actually very large proteins and through genetic modification specific amino acids in the enzymes are changed or replaced so the enzyme's "backbone" won't break down or unfold. This allows the industry to get the enzymes to higher temperatures before they become unstable.

 

Consumers trying to avoid genetically modified foods should avoid HFCS. It is almost certainly made from genetically modified corn and then it is processed with genetically modified enzymes. I've seen some estimates claiming that virtually everything—almost 80 percent—of what we eat today has been genetically modified at some point. Since the use of HFCS is so prevalent in processed foods, those figures may be right.

 

But there's another reason to avoid HFCS. Consumers may think that because it contains fructose—which they associate with fruit, which is a natural food—that it is healthier than sugar. A team of investigators at the USDA, led by Dr. Meira Field, has discovered that this just ain't so.

 

Sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose. When sugar is given to rats in high amounts, the rats develop multiple health problems, especially when the rats were deficient in certain nutrients, such as copper. The researchers wanted to know whether it was the fructose or the glucose moiety that was causing the problems. So they repeated their studies with two groups of rats, one given high amounts of glucose and one given high amounts of fructose. The glucose group was unaffected but the fructose group had disastrous results. The male rats did not reach adulthood. They had anemia, high cholesterol and heart hypertrophy—that means that their hearts enlarged until they exploded. They also had delayed testicular development. Dr. Field explains that fructose in combination with copper deficiency in the growing animal interferes with collagen production. (Copper deficiency, by the way, is widespread in America.) In a nutshell, the little bodies of the rats just fell apart. The females were not so affected, but they were unable to produce live young.

 

"The medical profession thinks fructose is better for diabetics than sugar," says Dr. Field, "but every cell in the body can metabolize glucose. However, all fructose must be metabolized in the liver. The livers of the rats on the high fructose diet looked like the livers of alcoholics, plugged with fat and cirrhotic."

 

HFCS contains more fructose than sugar and this fructose is more immediately available because it is not bound up in sucrose. Since the effects of fructose are most severe in the growing organism, we need to think carefully about what kind of sweeteners we give to our children. Fruit juices should be strictly avoided—they are very high in fructose—but so should anything with HFCS.

 

Interestingly, although HFCS is used in many products aimed at children, it is not used in baby formula, even though it would probably save the manufactueres a few pennies for each can. Do the formula makers know something they aren't telling us? Pretty murky!"

Does anyone have a decent link to info on HFCS. I'm interested in reading a little more about it, and the effects on your health. Just being curious.

I guess I should have just kept reading until the end. Thanks for the link.

A few things I have noticed recently that really bother me.

 

Fat people tend to order a super sized triple whopper Meal with extra bacon and a side of ranch.  Then they go ahead and get a DIET coke with their meal.  Why the f**k do you stop there?  Like the regular coke was going to really push them over the edge. Is it me or do fat people seem to love Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi?  Somewhat ironic.

 

A few others:  Fat people who get handicap parking permits because they are............well just fat!

 

Fat people who use the elevator to go up one floor when the stairs are right there.  That really bothers me for some reason.

 

Maybe I am being a little harsh but this country had some Fat F**K issues.  Or am I alone here?
