I saw that show the other night. Maher is exactly right on this issue. One of the keys to reducing obesity and Type-2 obesity, and the answer to Med's question about what McDonald's puts into the sauce, is to get High Fructose Corn Syrup out of your diet. Not only is the stuff addicting, but it suppresses your insulin level and doesn't allow the brain to release the chemical that tells the body that you're full. We've had HFCS in our diets for only the past thirty years. It was developed by the food processors who were looking for an alternative to sugar. It was thirty years ago that the federal government placed a very high tariff on sugar being imported into this country from abroad. That drove the price of domestic sugar through the roof, thanks to the sugar lobby and our corrupt politicians in Washington. So, like all government programs, we are facing the unintended consequences today with our obesity and Type-two diabetes problem.
Welcome to the world of processed foods, guyz.
