Medical Forum / General / Nutrition / July 2004news flash, another corrupt "scientist"
http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Living/ap20040717_945.html ******** Researchers: Sweetener Gets a Bad Rap High Fructose Corn Syrup That's Been Blamed for Bloated Waistlines Gets Bad Rap, Researchers Say The Associated Press McLEAN, Va. July 17, 2004 A popular sweetener used in everything from soda pop to baby food that some have blamed for America's increasingly bloated waistline is being unfairly maligned, say Virginia Tech researchers. ********* Maureen Storey, director of the Virginia Tech Center Maureen L. Storey, Ph.D., Director, Center for Food and Nutrition Policy, Virginia Polytechnic and State University, Alexandria, VA. Senior Vice President of Health and Nutrition Marketing at Hayes, Domenici & Associates, a public relations and marketing firm in McLean, Virginia. Former executive with the Kellogg Company...[holding] several management positions in nutrition over a 10-year period." (http://www.ceresnet.org/ViewEntry.cfm?ID=StoreyM&Section=identity) Co-author of study on added sugars in children's diets funded by The Sugar Association, Inc. (J. Am. Coll. Nutr. 2000;20(1):32-43). Lead investigator in a study concerning childhood obesity and soft drink intake funded by the National Soft Drink Association.

(http://www.acfn.org/about/advisory.html; accessed 10/31/03) ********* Have these people no shame? Wonder how much it would cost to have Maureen recant this nonsense and come clean? If anyone is considering sending their kids to Virginia Tech Center, you may want to reconsider. They have no credibility as a centre for science.

We are talking about the methodical and systematic poisoning of the species starting with pregnant mothers and infants and following thru to adults with serious sugar and carb induced diseases like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc. All in the name of greed and profit. Long live unfettered, unregulated free enterprise. TC You forgot to mention in your quest for impartiality. The Virginia Tech researchers are not the only ones who say the focus on high fructose corn syrup is misplaced. The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy group that has been highly critical of many aspects of the food industry, said there's no nutritional difference between typical table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, and blamed obesity instead on the massive quantities that are marketed and consumed by Americans. I am sure it was only an oversight on your part reverend. > http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Living/ap20040717_945.html > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > investigator in a study concerning childhood obesity and soft drink > intake funded by the National Soft Drink Association.

It appears that they've accepted the industry line when it comes to hfcs. There may not be much nutritional difference between hfcs and sugar in terms of the contents of nutrition but there is a huge difference chemically. Sugar has strong bonds between its molecules, hfcs has these bonds broken and is thus metabolized in a significantly different way with far-reaching health implications. The human body has not had time to evolved the capacity to handle the types and amounts of modern, manufactured, refined carbohydrates like hfcs.

Sugar has strong bonds between its molecules, Bullshit. You don't know anything about biochemistry. Go to school and stop your Christian Science Anti-US crap. > > As much as I appreciate the role that CSPI is playing in the > > scientific market place, they've gotten it wrong when it comes to [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Bullshit.

I'm curious to see if you know anything about what you are so quick to criticize. I fear I am in a battle of wits with an un-armed man. TC |
