Dead in 2007

Gatorade was the shtein before they started poisoning it with high fructose corn syrup.

Is this true?  It was originally less sweet/not loaded with that garbage?  I can't stand the stuff myself, but my memory of when it first came out was that it was less sweet, and I've always chalked that impression up to it having been so long ago when I first had it..

Originally it was just sucrose and salt.  Apparently it tasted awful, but highly effective at rehydration.

Adding the high fructose corn syrup and food dye significantly increased it's appeal to cavity loving kids.

nm-Romey and I are full of shtein.  It always contained HFCS.  the brominated vegetable oil is the new stuff however.

That can't be right.  HFCS hasn't been around that long as a product sweetener, has it?

[reese125]

So, the absolutely spine-tingling fact is that shortly after the 1970s, and especially throughout the 1980s, HFCS began to replace sucrose (table sugar, cane sugar, or beet sugar) in almost everything. This means that for the last 25 years — a lifetime for some reading this — this jacked-up, messed up "all-natural" toxic sweetener has been in all of our foods as we developed into the fat ADD-riddled little monsters that we are.

Yeah, pretty much.

But if you want to be really grossed out, go look up all your favorite food colorings.

Red #40, Red #3, Blue #1, Yellow #5.  These are in farging everything.

They pretty much look just like adriamycin, a cancer drug which causes irreversible heart damage.  Enjoy.

And you don't even want to know where they get Carmine Red from.....

Carmine may be prepared from cochineal, by boiling dried insects in water to extract the carminic acid and then treating the clear solution with alum, cream of tartar, stannous chloride, or potassium hydrogen oxalate; the coloring and animal matters present in the liquid are thus precipitated. Other methods are in use; sometimes egg white, fish glue, or gelatine are added before the precipitation.

The quality of carmine is affected by the temperature and the degree of illumination during its preparation, sunlight being requisite for the production of a brilliant hue. It differs also according to the amount of alumina present in it. It is sometimes adulterated with cinnabar, starch and other materials; from these the carmine can be separated by dissolving it in ammonia. Good carmine should crumble readily between the fingers when dry.



YUM!

I wish i had died instead of Evil Knievel, GO SKINS

[MadMarchHare]

Died from liver failure, from the hepatitis C he contracted from a blood transfusion after being severly injured doing one of his stupid stunts.  Dumbass.

I thought I'd be alright, then I saw a guy riding his motorcycle down the street and I burst into tears
