I said it's just one more way we're getting corn that many people don't realize. It's cumulative. And while the effects on weight gain on sucrose vs. HFCS are unclear, my point was that we're getting more HFCS that we realize. You can be a good boy and cut down on soda, cut down on cake and pie and cookies and all the obvious culprits. But guess what. You're getting a dose of HFCS in your spaghetti sauce. In many of your canned vegetables (trying to be healthy). In your breakfast cereal, trying to get your fiber (including the ones that aren't obviously "sweet" cereals). In cured meats. In a regular old loaf of bread. And it all adds up. I'm not one of those guys saying HFCS is the devil's spawn compared to sucrose. I'm saying that the American food industry is putting it into hundreds of things we eat that we'd never add sugar to on our own, without most of us realizing it.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA <when I was a kid high-fructose corn syrup was called "Karo"> That stuff is actually a bit different than the HFCS stuff. Karo was created by Julius T. Karo and is used in baking and desserts and to bring joy and happiness to the entire world. HFCS was brought to earth by Lucifer to destroy human life as we know it.

Definitely free up some space with removing Innoventions, and autopia , but rebuild something new and different .. Like maybe Avatarland,,,,,sorry Tattoonie, someplace from a galaxy far away. And a new star wars area, or any out of this world theme. Kids luv to drive their own cars, so maybe electric run vehicles themed as hovercrafts And as Walt would say and a whole lot of other exciting things.
