Obesity Epidemic

Today’s obesity epidemic may have been caused by childhood sugar intake, the result of dietary changes that took place decades ago. Since the 1970s, many available infant foods have been extremely high in sugar, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) after 1970 quickly become the main sweetener.

    Why did they start adding sugar to babyfood in the first place? Did one brand start adding sugar so they advertise “4/5 babies prefer our brand!” because when they tested it of course babies preferred the sweeter one?

    This is also where much if your bailout money for farmers is going. Most corn in the US is a variety of corn inedible to people but bred to be easily changed into corn syrup.
