Apparently I will need to change one of my favorite phrases from “high fructose diabetic syrup” to high fructose heart disease syrup.” A new study¹ that followed 88,520 women for 22 years found that drinking one sugar-sweetened beverage per day increased heart disease risk by 23% and two or more of these drinks per day increased heart disease risk by 35%.

I wonder if Coke and Pepsi will now be bracing for massive consumer lawsuits. Probably not, as the mainstream media didn't bother to report on the study. Nevertheless, this study shows that these garbage drinks are killing and injuring Americans in a slow and insidious way. The above rate of disease is an independent risk factor, meaning that the statistical analysis controlled for other known risk factors and forms of lifestyle abuse.

In fact, strong associations mere maintained even if the person was not obese or diabetic, which is also likely to happen.

It is amazing that our government is currently planning an all out attack on helpful family farms while allowing the junk food empire to injure and kill. Something isn't right here.
