Blood Sugar Sucks? Tragic!

Congratulations to everyone who got the day off for a <2-inch, wet winter quasi-storm! :)

Noodge busted me (?) a link to developing corn-syrup industry news about mercury tainting. i've been trying to avoid HFCS (as it's oft abbreviated) for many many moons because of my contempt and suspicion over money-motivated industrial food production

I try to avoid it as well, but that's an awful article.

"...and takes place in a series of stainless steel vats and tubes in which a dozen different mechanical processes and chemical reactions occur

Tubes and vats, oh my! Next thing you, know you'll be consuming things made by the anearobic conversion of sugars.

Well, with a domain name like "freshlife" you know it's going to be a bit fervent about the unnatural aspects of a food product. ;)
Although i don't think they were being histrionic in that particular paragraph, as it was mere exposition.

Crème Brûlée Stout has great primary flavors. Milk, vanilla, chocolate. But in addition to the primary flavors, it has some nice accents, too. Grave, circumflex, acute.

And the slightly different francophone equivalents, accent gràve, circônflexe, et accent aigú. (i may have added some "nice accents" to that translation.)

You know what they say about corn syrup...that it is made from corn, is nutritionally the same as sugar, and is fine in moderation. Or at least that is what is said in those propaganda, I mean commercials for the corn syrup people.

There are commercials for corn syrup?? Shirley, you jest! :P

[bittertalker]

Oh, it's true there are commercials for corn syrup, and in the words of Leslie Nielsen don't call me Shirley.
