General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Fructose and HFCS: Once again the "skeptics"* are wrong. [View all]villager
(26,001 posts)We appear to come equipped with different sets of "suspicions," for whatever reasons of cultural and historical contexts, etc. (I believe I have a few years on you, demographically...)
I think a lot of "science" is kept from us, of course -- hence the use of the salient climate change example. My point being: They let us have the "science" they want us to have.
I also think there's a lot we have yet to learn about the interplay between the chemical baths we are routinely subjected to, both internally (our food) and externally (everything else).
And I think there's a rather staggering profit motive at work to keep the "pure" science... less than pure. And to shunt "inconvenient" findings aside.
In any case, we know we disagree on various fundamentals in these discussions. Perhaps knowing that, we can approach each other's posts with less irascibility, since it's dubious either of us will "change" the other in an online discussion thread.
Besides, heated discussion threads just cut into pleasure reading time, que no?
