Donald - do you drink milk, or any dairy products?

As his spokesperson, I will respond;

"I drink some milk, mostly 2% and usually the Safeway brand that has no rbGH. I know it isnt organic, but at least it is missing part of the bad stuff. We give the kids 100% organic though. It's expensive, but it's worth it, IMO."

the reason I ask is because our bodies are not designed to process lactose (once we are weaned) either. By Donald's anti-fructose logic, he should be boycotted all dairy, as well.

I have read, and semi-agree with the lactose argument.

However, it does not do the same thing as HFCS does in the liver, nor is it in every single thing we eat. I know and am FULLY aware of the amount of dairy I ingest. I am not, however, of HFCS, even though I try to pay attention.

Lets not over-exaggerate here Donald. That's quite an over statement.

Not really. Start reading labels, my man. HFCS is probably all over those donuts you pound down while pretending to watch hookers on the beat. :p

(ok, not every single thing, but damn near)

Oh, and the mexico coca cola is WAY better than the US coca cola. Reason..they use sugar. You can taste it. Also, they use it because it is incredibly cheaper to use sugar outside of america because the sugar lobby has made it god awful expensive here in the states. Our government at work, for us...per usual.

Donald, stop fighting. In this argument like most political ones, Americans dont want to hear the bad news. Bury your heads in the corn syrup people!

I do buy the bottles at Costco that come from Mexico. But mainly because my kid loves them. I personally like them too. But I have finally come to the conclusion that US Coke just tastes better.

You stated that nor is it(lactose) in everything we eat implying that HFCS is.

SO SUCK IT DONALD! HAHAHAHA! I freaking win! :head2head:

You have to guess at what I was implying to get your win, while you even stated what I stated exactly...that lactose is not in everything we eat. So muuauaahahahahahahaa :iwin:

Hmm, I don't think you are drinking your coke.

Ugh. Headed over to Wal-mart for a couple of things, one of them being jelly for my English muffins. I counted about 30 varieties/flavors of jellies and jams and every single one contained HFCS as the second ingredient. In fact, some contained HFCS #2 and CORN SYRUP #3.

I guess I will use honey.

:thud:

Just checked and both my bottles are 100% natural honey. One is from Safeway.

Oh, you mean the kind that can kill infants with botulism? ;)

"Sure, my baby died, but it was 100% natural honey that did it, not that HFCS at the age of 70!"

MESA! :thud:
I got one of those $5 Fill Up boxes from KFC for lunch yesterday, and got a honey packet to go with my biscuit. I notice it reads "Honey Sauce" on it, not "Honey". I check it out...first ingredient: HFCS. Followed by Sugar, Honey, Corn Syrup, Natural Flavor, Caramel Color.

11% real honey. I really don't care too much about HFCS, but that's a little gross, even for me.
