Alas, another click bait misunderstanding of science in GD.

The poster claims that this means HFCS is worse than other sugars, and, thus claims that "the skeptics are "wrong," but the poster doesn't seem to realize that the study doesn't compare the effects of different types of sugars.



And, of course, the crap article linked in that OP doesn't reflect what the actual study shows:

Nevermind the reality of any study with 24 rats in three groups. Umm.

1. It's sad that progressives and liberals are supposed to be the sane, fact-based group

but they still fall prey to sensationalized pseudo-science just as surely as Rs fall prey to religious dogma.

4. Well it's all because of big bad pharma/ag/whatever.

I have yet to see anyone explain why a company would WANT to kill all of its customers.

Yes, corporations do stupid stuff. Yes, there have been safety issues. But the conspiracy most of these people buy into, it's like Monsanto is bent on destroying the entire human race. OK, if they succeed, what does the next quarterly profit report look like?

7. It all tracks back to people believing the crazy CTs about the JFK killing.

Believing in fake facts, distrust of the government, the power-that-be taking down the knight in shining armor, etc. Every ridiculous CT you see today contains elements of craziness that harkens back to similar stupidities in that murder.

9. Protocols of the Elders of Zion...

CT's go back... way back. I would argue that much of the Bible is a CT extravaganza against outgroups, in the NT it's the Jews and often competing Christian Sects.

2. Gosh I hope none of them eat any fruit.

It's loaded with fructose.

3. I thought about pointing that out, but I'm a shill for Big Apple.

5. I knew it!

Is there any payroll you're NOT on?

6. Chemtrails R Us fired me.

But I didn't actually work there either!

8. Hmmm, my first thought...

Was the Flash of Light conception thing, but this is more popcorn worthy.

10. This is getting better every day.

All the pseudoscience fans are showing up.

It's a lot like shooting fish in a barrel, but...
