Corn syrup, was Re: [LMB] OT: Who would be alive OT:

The fructose in corn syrup does not act in the body like 
sucrose/glucose.  It 1) does not turn off the hunger reflex like natural 
sugar does, and b) it does not stimulate the production of insulin, 
leading to higher than expected blood glucose levels.  This is a problem 
for diabetics, who already tend to be overweight and of course have high 
blood sugar.  There are other problems with it.  Blame Archer Daniels 
Midland.
