[Sca-cooks] sugar problems

[Terry Decker]

George Bray's research linking obesity and corn syrup.

I would point out that according to the USDA there has been a steady 
increase in the use of all sweetners in the US since 1980, so obesity might 
be the result of increasing indulgence rather than the switch to corn syrup. 
To quote, Peter Havel, "the increased consumption of fat, the increased 
consumption of all sugars, and inactivity are all to blame fore the obesity 
epidemic."
