Syrup, right?

Maple syrup, sorghum syrup, corn syrup.

pancake syrup which is usually per fructose molasses uh anything with the word sugar in it date sugar coconut sugar brown sugar beet sugar confectioner sugar it's all sugar so sugar sugar sugar now is high fructose corn syrup a little worse yes but in the end it's it's all bad uh next thing you need to know is that artificial sweeteners are also not so great for you so here's a class example what happens when you try to outsmart mother nature rather than uh

accepting that, you know, we really shouldn't be eating a lot of sugar or we shouldn't be having a lot of artificial sweeteners.

And rather than accept the fact that we just should try to

eat less and, you know, not have so much sugar.

We kind of want the hack, right?

We want the magic loophole to avoid doing what's really good for us.

We tried this with fat, right?

We thought, oh, you know, butter is bad and saturated fat is bad.

So let's have margarine, margarine.

I grew up on Fleischmann's margarine.

But it turns out that...

Trans fats are not only not good for you, they're very bad for you.

And they've killed hundreds of thousands of people and they cause heart disease, diabetes, and they're really unsafe.

And the government finally, after 50 years and a lawsuit, finally caved and said, oh, gee, it's not safe anymore.

They called it a grass, generally recognized as safe.

They removed the grass label.

The problem is it's still in the marketplace because they're FDAs in cahoots with the food industry.

And essentially they gave them a lot of loopholes and ways to kind of leave it in there.
