- A k a Regina Schrambling, I write once a week at the base camp but come across things between Sundays that are worth sharing. I suspect my emailing list is plumb tuckered out from clicking on everything I send around, though. And so I’ve sold my soul to the Google.

Wow! You've been saying this for years. Now you've got the Journal of Nutrition to back you up. I always attributed the rapidly expanding American to growth hormones in cows, bulls, chickens, and the like. But, no, it looks like corn syrup really is to blame after all. And to add insult to injury, soft drinks made with corn syrup just don't taste as good as those made with sugar. I've done the taste test myself in the Third World. A bottle of Coke in Guatemala, Haiti, or India is far superior to what they sell Stateside in the can or the plastic "bottle."
I'm afraid to ponder all the other things you might be right about.
Thanks for reading and reacting. Over at the base camp today I noted that we are five years beyond "Fat Land," Greg Critser's amazing book laying out exactly what the "experts" are finding today. (Also funny how adding scientific-sounding "high-fructose" before "corn syrup" made people not realize they were drinking Karo -- or consider the consequences.)
