Down with HFCS!

No, but it's a darn sight better than HFCS.

Eat real sugar! Otherwise we overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy and stole the land for no good reason (not that much sugar is grown in Hawaii any more)!

Heavy use of it is due in part to restrictions on sugar imports and tariffs on same - we pay about 3x the world price for sugar.

I will have to pass that on to a Hawaiian Royal I know.

One of the alternatives they are using for sugar and HFCS is Splenda. I remember you telling me some interesting stuff about Splenda and free radicals. Any update on that research that you know of?
