The Truth About Sweeteners - Moms Express Nutrition Concerns, Yet Real Culprits Overlooked

An odd article - clearly suspect and clearly correct.

"A recent national survey revealed that moms are more concerned with individual ingredients rather than their children's overall caloric intake. Since total calories typically determine weight gain and even obesity, parents must understand the basic nutritional facts to keep their kids healthy.

'Many accusations today rely on speculation that tries to link single ingredients, including sweeteners such as high fructose corn syrup, to obesity,' said Dr. James M. Rippe, cardiologist and biomedical sciences professor at the University of Central Florida. 'Americans are eating more of everything -- it's the excess calories and sedentary lifestyle that are having the greatest impact.'"

One of the docs associated with this article is beholden to the Corn Refiners Association.

Still, the message is correct - it is all about Calories In, Calories Out.

There are no healthy foods. There is only eating healthily.

That abusive and ignorant parents point their stupid fingers at others for the problems the parents cause their own children is nothing new.

Here is a link to an article with apparently less commercial taint that tells the story.
