Atkinsians know that the devil has a name and that it is High Fructose Coorn Syrup, Elevator of Insulin and Most High Gycemic. It's validating, therefore, to see some sciency-type news about how bad corn syrup is for us, how it's creating a nation of diabetics, and how it accounts for 10 percent of the average American's daily calorie intake. Yow.
"This shows the increase in the past 20 years is almost exclusively carbohydrates and certainly corn syrup consumption has increased dramatically."
Gross said he was not "picking on the corn syrup industry," but added, "It is hard to ignore the fact that 20 percent of our carbohydrates are coming from corn syrup — 10 percent of our total calories."
