What we are really eating... at least in the U.S.

[Eddie]

Eating of meat isn't the main cause of heart disease. Much worse for the body, are easily metabolizable carbohydrates. The worst culprit is high-fructose corn syrup, nearly all of whicy is converted to fat in the body, as our bodies aren't designed to metabolize fructose (at least, not without a large accompaniment of fiber). A good portion of our current epidemic of obesity may be traced directly to the practice, adopted by industrial food producers in recent years, of putting high-fructose corn syrup in so many processed foods.

Here are a couple of videos on the subject.

Fat America and High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Sugar--the Bitter Truth

By the way, the second of these videos, while very long, is much better than the first, as the doctor shows the metabolic pathways of various sugars in the body, and explains exactly why fructose is so dangerous.
