It's starting to look like there's a definite link between overweight
ppl and HFCS-loaded sodas. In a recent food exposé I watched, a NY
cabbie claimed he lost 30lbs by merely ceasing the consumption of
Coke, which he admitted he been virtually addicted to. While I
haven't really lost any weight, I've found it surprisingly easy to not
GAIN any weight since I cut sodas from my diet. I'm starting to look
for HFCS-containing foods and eliminate those, too.
