I think it's funny when people argue the unhealthy effects of foods when they live and drink like crap. It's not rocket science. Stop looking for things to blame when you can curbed a lot of common diseases by changing your habits.
Amazon is good too but I get a lot of my sups from www.swansonvitamin.com BCAAs, Arginine, Green Tea Extract, ect...
There is no doubt that I did more than just stop drinking cokes and eating things with sugar and corn syrup in it. When I first started trying to get into better shape my diet basically consisted of Artichokes, Broccoli, talapia, salmon, green beens, green salads etc... No juice of any kind because it all has sugar in it so I only drank water. I cut out coffee because I could not drink it with out sugar. I lost about 40 lbs in about 3 months. I later found out about Stevia and also found out that raw honey was not bad for you if you only have a couple of teaspoons a day. So I started drinking coffee again. I like it sweet so I use one teaspoon of Stevia (raw) and one teaspoon of honey (raw). I went back to eating steaks, sausage, pork, potatoes etc... after about 3 months and the wieght never came back on. To this day I eat fish a few times a week and try to make sure I eat green veggies most of the time as opposed to starches, but I do eat starches. While I've found it almost impossible to completely omit corn syrup from my regular diet since it is in almost anything canned or proccessed, I have made it where it's once in a blue moon that it makes its way into my body. So to validate what you posted, you are right it was more than just the corn syrup and sugars but I know a lot of things now that I did not know 5 years ago. Things like how corn syrup and sugar causes your body to increase its insulin production and the effects corn syrup has on your appitite. And how insulin causes your body to store fat. Why exactly is there corn syrup in basically every single proccessed food on the market? The simple answer is that it increases your appitite, and over time it is hard to break that appitite. I believe that so many people fail at their diets because they eat things with corn syrup in them and it causes them to get hungry when they should not be. I don't have anywhere near the appitite that I did before I cut out proccessed foods and corn syrup. Anyway, I'm not trying to be preachy so much as I'm just trying to share my experience and what worked for me. Excersise is very important but it is not a cure for pore eating habbits.
