Great piece on how they continue to manufacture words to hide what they are doing to our food.
Sounds like another case of "Pick Your Poison". The first clue that it's something you should not eat is if there's a patent on it. A google search of "invert sugar patents" has "About 2,670,000 results" Just the first one I clicked on had 2 quick hitter issues: (https://patents.google.com/patent/US2758040A/en)
1. "An object of this invention is to produce invert sugar which contains a minimum quantity of the decomposition product of levulose." Levulose is just different word for fructose.
2. "Another object of this invention is to provide a sterile water white solution of invert sugar which is substantially free from S-hydroxymethylfurfural." Yet another link tells us "Both acrylamide and HMF are considered as probably or potentially carcinogenic to humans or might be metabolized by humans to potentially carcinogenic compounds." (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0023643810003798). I'm sure they're getting all of the S-hydroxymethylfurfural removed before they put it in our food. Right?
I didn't read the rest of this patent. That was enough for me.
I'm honored! Looks like I somehow had the wrong link about the carcinogenic compounds. Here is the correct link. I'll also try to edit my original reply.
Do you guys think the main reasons for the USA leading the World in obesity are because:
1. Our educational system sucks. It really, really sucks.
2. Most if not all of our foods are GMO’d or processed etc etc.
3. Processed and fast foods are less expensive and far more accessible than raw healthy food (farm stand not supermarket).
4. Corporations who produce food care about one thing and it’s not our health, it’s profit. As cliche as that sounds. But it’s true. If it weren’t true we’d not be having this chat.
5. Most of us buy our food in supermarkets?
Amazing how thin all the Italians/Europeans are when my thin wife and my thin self visit there.

Excellent research! Sounds yummy! I'm going to add your comment to the main piece.

Just fixed the link. Thanks!
Thanks so much, Linda! Glad it was helpful.
