11. If I told you the sky was blue

If I told you the sky was blue, and then spent a lot of time talking about the implications of the green sky, you think that would be just fine?

It's a study. It's not well done, as I covered. And I'm using their own words, not trying to pull in some industry bullshit. Mostly because I'm not in the industry, so I have no industry bullshit to pull in.

As for my overall position, I'll quote myself from the other sub-thread:

The health issues are caused by the massive quantities of sugar we consume. Not HFCS. Replace HFCS with sucrose, and you'll get the same results. We need to convince people to eat less sugar, not to think that eliminating HFCS is a magic way to health. Otherwise we're just creating another useless fad diet (No carbs and you'll be thin! No, all carbs and you'll be thin! Just drink this shake twice a day! No, eat 6 times a day! No, drink ice water!)
