Atkins Snacks

And my main issue is that HFCS contains five percent more fructose than regular sugar, and fructose causes severe developmental and cardiovascular problems in high quantities.

It also has a marked effect on insulin, which (the jury is still out) could directly relate to an overall increase in obesity.

Anyway, if you need sources, search for Dr. Meira Field of the USDA.

russotto, I'm not going to convince you to stop, it's obviously your choice. But from what I've seen, a diet so high in protein and low in carbs turns your liver into that of an alcoholic.

But, if it works, go nuts.
