This was a quote I read on the dangers and health hazards of sugar. It was by Dr. Mercola and I read this line from his article posted online. I however read an article in the August issue of National Geographic on the same subject. I wanted check this for myself. I found this to be quite true.
I used Google search and found quite a bit of information as well as bing search engine. I then went to Kent Library where I found quite a bit of information including the following information on fructos:
The HFCS (or high fructose corn syrup) method of it was first used in the 1970's when President Richard Nixon went to the USDA urging them to find whatever means necessary to bring down food costs. This was part of his "war on poverty" strategy. In 1975 HFCS was introduced.
I also found a lot of information on Dr. Robert Lustig, leading professor of pediatrics, and an obesity specialist at the University of California in San Francisco. He has quite an interesting article on YouTube called "Is Sugar Toxic?"
When it came down to finding what I was looking for I found the most interesting research that I used in National Geographic magazine. However, I found tons of information at the library and my on-line searches were overwhelming.
Some of this definitely makes you think 'twice' when you open that can of soda, or grab that donut!
