Studies show what we know...

MSNBC had a report this morning about HFCS (high fructose corn syrup).   Prior studies of HFCS demonstrated that the practice of adding it to so many of our manufactured foods and to soft drinks corresponds to the dramatic rise in obesity in this country.  A new study provides the direct link between HFCS and obesity in that it explores the biology, that is, how HFCS works in the body, and found that it stimulates the hormone that causes hunger and cravings.  Yup, that demonstrates what we all suspected -- the rise in obesity is related to manufactured foods and is not a function of decreasing will power in our population.
