Well it is banned in most non-3rd world countries as it is clearly documented to be poisonous to the human body.

I think it should be banned in America too.


Let the corn people convert their poison into alternative fuels and leave it out of our foods and drinks.

It's not just HFCS either Jermyn. Our food is full of chems. I posted this on another thread but I'll post it here also since I think it bears repeating. We literally are what we eat... If you don't want to be junk, don't eat junk.

Easy rules for healthy eating:

Eat as close to the ground as possible Veggies, meats and fish, fruits.
Eat as close to raw as possible.
Avoid anything that comes in a package.
If you must eat packaged or canned food no more than 3 ingredients on the lable. Example 1.Greenbeans, water, salt. 2. Oats.

Example of good food:
Wheat, water, butter, salt, honey, yeast.(Bread)
Cream, salt (Butter).

Example of bad food:
Ingredients: lliquid soybean oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, water,whey, salt, vegetable mono and di-glycerides, soy lecithin, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, artificial flavor, phosphoric acid, vitamin a palmate, beta carrotine. (Margarine)

Wheat flour, water, wheat gluten, high fructose corn syrup, soybean oil, salt, molasses, yeast, mono and diglycerides, exthoxylated mono and diglycerides, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, calcium iodate, calcium dioxide), datem, calcium sulfate, vinegar, yeast nutrient (ammonium sulfate), extracts of malted barley and corn, dicalcium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, calcium propionate. (Bread)

It only took four ingredients to get a piece of my homemade bread and butter but somehow it took over 30 to get a piece of store bread and margarine. That is because food is now produced with esthetics, shelf life, waste control, ingredient cost, travel-ability and many other factors that have nothing to do with feeding you healthy in mind. As a matter of fact your nutrition is at the bottom of a long list of concerns for food 'manufactures'.

Easiest question to ask yourself when making a food choice is: Could someone have eaten this 100 years ago? If not pass it up

Great information T2W!! Easier said than done to be sure! I mean, you might as well just stay away from the grocery store, because almost everything, except produce, comes in a package! And then, the produce is usually from Mexico, where we know they use human sewer water to irrigate their crops... ughhh! Even the ORGANIC stuff in my grocery store is from .... Mexico!

What's someone to do?? ... wish to God we could all be as self-sufficient as you are!!!!

I didn't know it was banned in third-world countries! How'd those third world countries figure that out, and be smart enough to do something about it, while we here in America are dying daily from this kind of poison!

I wish it could be banned too!

But many Americans aren't going to cave easily... especially the ones living off the system... they'd much rather worry about when their next welfare check comes in so they can go and load up on all the junk food they please, and then have the taxpayer pay for their healthcare bill...
