I am so happy to have found this blog. These commercials have been getting under my skin for a year now. How dare they promote this and shame on the networks that allow to air them!! I also agree with the “throwback” comment. When I saw that they were having throwback using real sugar I thought “Why wouldnt they just use it all the time and how horrible that people still drink the “fake sugar” after they disgustingly promoted it?” There is a reason why America is in the shape that it is. I wish more people had the knowledge.

I am glad that you answered my question on that commercial. They almost had me convinced. You are a great and caring Mom!

[...] I’m looking forward to playing in a poker tournament hosted by Annie Duke for After School All Stars on Thursday, May 20, at 7:30 at the Commerce Casino in L.A. Like me, Annie is passionate about health, poker and decision-making. I especially enjoyed Annie’s take on high fructose corn syrup. [...]

Let’s produce a counter commercial;

women 1 pouring a cup of red poison
for herself and children

women 2 – “you don’t care that you
are about to drink poison”

1: what are you talking about

2: drinks or other food with HFCS

1: what do you mean, I thought it was
all natural, made of corn, and good in
moderation

2: well you were lied to. HFCS is no
more natural than agent orange, is the
leading cause of diabetes, and has the
addictive properties of many drugs

1: wow, I had no idea

2: I know, it’s hard to believe that the
government let’s this stuff be sold,
it kind of like the way they treated the
tabacoo industry back in the day.
However, there are lots of sources of
real information on the perils of HFCS

screen scrolls with book titles and authors
of the many many great references on
the subject

I completely agree.

I also find it funny that pepsi, mountain dew and dr pepper are having “throwback” or “heritage” editions that use real sugar !

Just permanantly change your products!

Please watch You Tube video lecture ‘Sugar – the bitter truth’ to learn more about HFCS and its affect on our health.

Wow. Could start an entire Random Rant about this, however, you’ve said it all already. They teach courses in this stuff, actually, using persuasion, etc. And the fact that only 1 out of 100 people need to believe the message is good enough for them.

Read this post, JUST bought the Kindle edition of “Food Rules” for my iPhone and put a hold on the audiobooks of ‘In Defense of Food’ and ‘Omnivore’s Dilemma” at my local library. I’m really trying to turn my eating around.

I first saw you on TWiSt with Jason Calacanis. Great show there, great post here. Also, I hear you’re some sort of poker enthusiast?
