[Grovenet] What happened to Dairy Queen?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Quite right. "High fructose corn syrup" is just another enhanced drug to
abuse one's self with.
 
Simple sugar distilled from cane or beets, or the sugars in honey is what I
was talking about .
 
You are absolutely right about tolerance adaptation. It's a survival mode
that can hurt us terribly. 
 
Eating a full meal makes a normal person more relaxed and feeling content.
We like the feeling. We eat more to feel better. Used that way food is a
drug, and we develop a tolerance that demands more to produce the feeling.
Eating more used to build on nice layers of fat that we'd lose in a few
months when we experienced the next period of famine. But we don't normally
experience famine any longer. We get hugely fat instead. 
 
According to the warnings from the agricultural scientists, we Americans are
getting way, way out on a limb with our over-dependence upon corn products.
It's reminiscent of the Asian dependence upon a shaky rice crop a century
ago or the Irish dependence upon the potato a century before. All it takes
is something unexpected to hurt the crop to kill millions. As before, it's
those with the most money who can pay whatever price is needed to survive.
It's those who are not wealthy, and their children, who suffer and die. 
 
Each generation believes it won't happen to them. We're no exception. 
 
So maybe those fat people who haven't died of other problems will survive a
corn famine a little better than thin people.
 
I won't bet my life on it <G>.

A teaspoon of cane sugar, though, certainly bears little resemblance to most
of the sweet products consumed.  Increasingly the form of sugar being used
is corn syrup, which is much more highly concentrated, has a higher glycemic
index, and some argue due to the omnipresence of other corn products in
everything we use, is causing alergies and even toxicity in some people. 

And even in a normally functioning pancreatic system, the insulin surges
produced by such high quantities of sugar in one concentrated form (very
unlike the berries of our ancestors which are quite low in sugar per ounce)
have short and long term ill affects on the body.  Insulin is one of the
most bioactive chemicals known, and one of its primary purposes is to store
fat.  Without it we couldn't do it.  That is why childhood diabetics are
usually quite thin. 

But secondary diabetics usually get that way after constantly submitting
their bodies to high insulin surges, resulting in an aquired tolerance, much
like to narcotics, along with the obesity that this often causes. 

A teaspoon sounds so innocent, oh that we all stopped there....

Sugar has a lot going for it. It's a form of quick energy, a lift that we 
enjoy. It's why healthy people crave fresh fruits, berries and other 
naturally sweetened foods. The sweetness is sugar. 

Calories? A teaspoon full - a HUGE amount to consume at a sitting - has all 
of 25 (that's twenty-five) calories! Better yet, it's a food most of our 
bodies process easily. Only those whose systems has been injured by disease 
or obesity can no longer tolerate it easily. 

Not all the dangerous drug dealers are standing on street corners. Many of 
them are supplying the foods and drinks you can buy in the grocery store.
