Oh good, see you're finally using your words.

And now why is that a problem?

I already posted those words in my initial response.  Another guy who doesn't read.

I generally don't read Google results posted here correct, because we can all use Google.

Are you special?  This is the dumbest exchange I've had in a long time.

Also, my daughter has Type 1 diabetes.  While different than Type 2 and HFCS isn't going to influence her type of diabetes, the processing of sugar is very important to her, so I've researched this in the past.

Maybe don't run your mouth so much and you won't get called out on it.

Anytime you want to show any data or analysis or studies that show how hfcs is substantially worse than sugar go ahead and share.

Maybe google "Why is HFCS bad" like I said.

Also I gave a link upthread, which you won't read, because you are a troll and not a serious poster.

Your assertion is that hfcs is substantially worse than sugar.

Maybe Google "why is hfcs worse than table sugar" and educate yourself.  Do you need a zoom meeting for me to show you how to do it?

Nevermind I'll do it for you.

One example:  HFCS is metabolized in the liver, glucose isn't.

Is your google broken too?

So much for serious discussion

Here, from Healthline, with links:

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/why-high-fructose-corn-syrup-is-bad#2-Increases-your-risk-of-fatty-liver-disease

This link does not talk about HFCS vs cane sugar.  
 

To your first point, from the link @The Phantom's Phantom posted, which was also from Healthline:

 

the most commonly used type, HFCS 55, consists of 55% fructose and 42% glucose and other sugars.

HFCS 55, primarily used in soft drinks, is similar to sucrose (regular table sugar), which is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. HFCS 42, which is used in processed foods, cereals, baked goods, and some beverages, contains 42% fructose (2Trusted Source)

…

In your digestive system, sugar is broken down into fructose and glucose — so corn syrup and sugar end up looking exactly the same.

Gram for gram, HFCS 55 has slightly higher levels of fructose than regular sugar. The difference is very small and not particularly relevant from a health perspective.

This whole idea of an investment in AI technology on the surface seems fine, but it is going to mess with jobs in a bad way.

 

I also love the idea that a company with 30 billion in cash on hand is going to invest 100 billion dollars. There is a lot of things that need to hit right for that to happen.

Reminds me of this, Dr Oz didn’t even know the name of the store he was in (although the tweet is also wrong, it was probably Redners)

It was most definitely a Redners. It was also most definitely Oz completely out of touch with the common person. There were so many things he said in that video that were ridiculous it is no wonder he lost.

Lawfare is when you go after your political opponents for trivial or invented crimes which no one is typically charged for.   Destruction of evidence and enticing false testimony in a witch hunt which has resulted in hundreds of people being wrongly incarcerated is an abuse of power which merits jail time.  Fuk Liz Cheney.  It is amazing how you retards now love the war-mongering neo-cons you once thought were Hitler.

New. Liz Cheney responds to GOP calls to investigate her over her Jan. 6 Cmte. work: "Their allegations do not reflect a review of the actual evidence, and are a malicious and cowardly assault on the truth." No reputable lawyer, legislator or judge would take this seriously."

Most likely he just finds Cheney a useful foil. I wouldn’t mess with her personally, but no question Trump has somehow had the upper hand thus far 

[Hawkeye21 2,380]

Is Trump starting to walk back some of his promises?  It didn't seem very smart of him to say he wouldn't be able to lower grocery prices, or that it would be hard.

It amazes me that the same purportedly intelligent people who cheered on the farce that was the concocted felonies in NY vs. Trump, are now indignant that Trump would "go after" somebody with an investigation of potential actual crimes.

In watching this omnibus twist and turn, its a warning sigh. I'm worried that the various factions in the Republican Party will no be able to come together and instead result in gridlock, because you know the Democrats will be of no help and only want to obstruct... which is their prerogative, they have many, many seats as a minority and throwing sand in the GOP plans is expected.

They need to have President Trump, Mike Johnson, DOGE, and virtually all members of Congress from their party on the same page on every issue. Checks and Balances is built onto the system on purpose and works well when you have a sh*ttastic president like whoever we have now operating the Joe Biden puppet. When you have a great president like Trump, having everyone on the same page is nearly impossible and its going to muck up the works and slow things down. We'll see how badly. There are still plenty of uniparty corporate globalist Republicans of the Bushtarded Paul Ryan/Mitt Romney variant that will need placating in order to get things done.

Ultimately those RINOs serve the global homo. 

They will vote no when it matters most.

Pelosi had talent for that sort of thing. I don't know that Biden accomplished anything more than getting his name listed as president #46.

As for Trump, keeping the legislative wheel oiled is the challenge we'll be having to watch for. A lot of the Paul Ryan / Mitt Romney /Dumbya / Cheney  uniparty globalists have been routed but there are still plenty around. I think that another big fault line is that Trump didn't seem to care very much about the national debt during his first administration but there are enough in the party that do to cause him problems.

The GOP will need damn near every vote.
