Is High Fructose Corn Syrup Toxic?
There is so much pseudoscience out in the world, bad facts and figures, it makes it hard to know what’s real. Scam artist use these things to sell magic jewelry and free energy solutions, others make money selling books or movies with much things as the Amityville Horror and people actually put their own heath at risk with useless alternative medicine schemes, like detoxification and reflexology. We haven’t even mentioned the Conspiracy theorists.
Finally, a great podcast that looks at all these common misconceptions with a scientific approach, with real data to support conclusions. It is amazing how much people believe just because it is in print.
For some reason, high fructose corn syrup has become a huge public worry. It’s been one of the most common questions that listeners have been emailing me about. Do I need to be concerned? Can you point your skeptical eye at the evil food producers who are poisoning us with HFCS?.- From The Skeptoid Website
