Its interesting this came up ... someone posted it on facebook and after reading it .. its pretty spot on. Sugar is very unhealthy for us .. and its in almost everything we eat ... no wonder society is having a hard time with their hearts .. and weight ... etc .. SOOO many empty calories consumed that dont make us feel full .. so we keep consuming!
ALso check out Forks over Knives!
Check out FOOD INC too!
I was BLOWN away by the movies of the trailers i posted .. it encouraged me to change my diet .. (was going to anyhow due to some recent dr. visits) but it convinced me i HAD to! hre is SOO much going on with food that we dont know about... its disgusting! I am glad I eat as much wild game as I can to avoid the meat at the grocery store ....Post your comments and thoughts on these clips or if you have seen the shows ... and or read the sugar article.
If the words "high fructose corn syrup" are emphasized... then you know that whoever is speaking is... dim.
Also, MNG - check out "[censored]."
Ever watch Supersize Me?
Well, this one is the same thing - someone on a 3 times a day fast food diet for 30 days... and he LOSES weight. BEYOND the expected loss for the calories. He also improves his triglycerides and LDL.

yeah i seen that show super size me.. you really gotta see the shows to understand ... really. And the article about sugar is not just HFCS ....
For me .. my LDLs are awesome ... its my HDLs that i can not get under control ... infact i am SOOO low on HDLs its dangerous! My tryglicerides are through teh roof! HDLs help in the removal of tryglycerides.
I go in for a blood test again in Late march so i will know for sure how my change of diet has effected my blood report at that time. The one show ..forks over knives talks about reversing many of our health issues with food .. and using the right veggies .. etc ... a plant based diet. The guy in the show was able to actually get off all his meds by the end of the show. they show his blood work at the start .. and the end .. the results are amazing! I am a hunter .. SO i am in favor of eating meat (Mc donalds makes me feel sick when i eat it so i cant eat fast food for that reason) but i do love my meat ...
