Agreed.
I just finished watching the video and reading the article myself, and it's much more a focus on the sudden abundance of fructose/HFCS in our modern diets rather than the smaller amount of sugars people traditionally consumed in past generations. I don't think he's being overdramatic here. The article even says, "It isn’t that fructose itself is bad -- it is the MASSIVE DOSES you’re exposed to that make it dangerous."
Massive doses is right, it's in
everything. Knowing that even many baby formulas have just as much HFCS as Coca-Cola? The thought of it just makes me sick.
We recently bought all-beef hot dogs, and as I was cooking tonight I glanced at the ingredients list. What the heck is HFCS doing in
hot dogs? I expect to find it in most processed food products so I typically check labels and try to stick with whole foods when I'm being health-conscious. Silly me for not realizing that even "all beef" is subject to added HFCS.
