Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for your kind words about the article. Yes, I’m well aware of the danger of HFCS and other refined sugars. Thanks for sharing the links! I will write an article on this in the future.

Best,
Chris

Dr. T.W.,

Thanks very much for your comment. I also recommend magnesium as a preventative measure, and I couldn’t agree more about the use of statins to reduce cholesterol. What for, when cholesterol isn’t a risk factor for heart disease in most populations? What for, when statins aren’t effective for 95% of people? What for, when statins have dangerous and even life-threatening side effects and risks?

Hi,
My HFCS google alert picked up your beautifully and intelligently written article. I am on a personal campaign to let everyone I know about the
treachery of HFCS. Have you delved into this topic in depth? Courtesy
of the Corn Refiners Assoc., go to http://www.corn.org/NSFC2006.pdf
Pages 29-30 list all the foods and products that contain HFCS. A few
surprises even for me. http://www.StopHFCS.com lists foods that are HFCS-free.
Take care.

I am strongly against the use of statins to reduce cholesterol, It can be done much more safely using magnesium, water, and exercise. I would highly suggest any one worried about this topic to check out this article Magnesium and Walking Will Always be Superior to Lipitor
