Re: high fructose corn syrup

It's all contextual. The advice you hear is based on statistics and
all kinds of assumptions that were arrived at using methods that
circumvented the scientific method. In some cases, basic common sense
was violated, such as classifying lard as a "saturated fat," even
though it is only 39-40% saturated fatty acids. I eat huge amounts of
saturated fatty acids, sugar, and salt. I don't care about HFCS one
way or the other - it's in the bread that I eat, for example, but I
usually just use regular, white "table sugar." What I don't eat is
any meat product (except some gelatin), and I keep my unsaturated
fatty acid intake to a very low amount, with just about no omega 3s at
all. I eat boiled eggs once in a while, and plenty of butter (never
heated, always trim the yellowed sides off the butter sticks), along
with cheese, coconut, dark chocolate, etc.

Not only is my health fine (in my early 40s now), but I also overcame
a near deadly bout of PEM (and all kinds of "complications" from it)
on this diet. I had severe osteoporosis, gelatinous transformation of
bone marrow, tendonosis, terrible migraines, fatigue, wasting,
orthostatic hypotension, etc.

You can read about my "story," my research, and see plenty of
