Is high-fructose corn syrup making you fat?

All I know about HFCS is that since I have cut it out of my diet I have had greater control of my food choices. I have more well power you might say. I actually enjoy looking for foods that are good for me and passing up the fried, sweet, fat laden foods.

HFCS = poison

What about the studies that show that 1/3 of food samples with corn syrup in them had high mercury levels due to the process of manufacturing the syrup. The further away we get from the natural foods, the worse it is for our bodies. God or evolution made us to process NATURAL foods, not the junk we are eating today.Overly processed foods are a big part of the problem and nearly all of them have HFCS

I'm just curious about these "experts" that were asked whether HFCS was causing harm. Who are they funded by? I'm sure I wouldn't say anything bad about my product if I wanted it to sell. Hmm...

All I know is that I was having trouble with boils, I stopped eating anything with HFCS, and within 2-3 days they were competely gone. I am now very careful about reading the labels, and it works. If I get too much of that crap in my system the boils start to come back. This info. alone should be a warning to others of this poison. Hey people if we're going to eat sugar then let's go back to regular sugar or something more "natural". :-)
