You're allowed to post links to support an argument. You aren't allowed to post only links in lieu of making an argument.

But if I understand what you're saying, it's that harmful stuff likes to live in fat. Okay? It doesn't increase fat, though.

"Within Limits" and "All you can eat" are contradictory.

"Within limits" is a disclaimer, without which my statement could have meant that I thought someone could chug 10 pounds of pure cholesterol and be a-ok. "All you can eat" refers to the normal or even most excessive amounts of a food that someone would eat. Do you give similar shit to people who run buffets? OH HO HO IT IS NOT ALL I CAN EAT IF YOU KICK ME OUT AFTER I STAY HERE FOR 16 HOURS AND TRY TO SLEEP IN THE BOOTH, I WAS NOT DONE

Wouldn't they be one in the same? Yes, the Human body needs fat supplies to survive but if one is over weight due to the amount of toxic chemicals, preservative, and additive in the food they eat (I'm not even going to mention GMO) wouldn't that make them unhealthy?

No. Fat is not always equatable to poor health. Your body needs a certain percentage of bodyfat, and that requirement actually goes up the more active you are. Cyanide is also pretty unhealthy but isn't linked to obesity. Not all fat is unhealthy and not all unhealthy crap is fattening. Kinda obvious.

I've never came across someone who actually defended MSG. Its a well known excitotoxin. Remember back in the day when all the Chinese Food restaurants had signs on their places that said "NO MSG here"? And food makers use the synthetic form of MSG. Dr. Russel Blaylock has some good videos up on Youtube about the effects of MSG, obesity, and neurological disorders because of it.

I didn't defend MSG, I just said that it's pretty natural as additives go. Your argument was originally that synthetics were unhealthy and therefore fattening. MSG isn't really a synthetic.

I've noticed, though, that you're more than willing to divorce yourself from whatever point you're making to attack whatever you perceive to be the weakest part of my point.

Why? I'm not setting you straight on nutrition because I love internet combat, I'm doing it because there's a lot of stupid misinformation out there and your perception was especially stupid. I felt that I must stop you before someone listens, and maybe you could learn something in the process and not misinform people in real life who likely don't know any better.

HFCS are not regular sugar. They are synthetic and the fructose levels are higher. Regular organic cane sugar has 50 Fructose / 50 Glucose. The body can't handle the high amount of fructose from HFCS and it literally rots out the pancreas while also making the individual put on masses amounts of weight.

Everything but the last sentence: Who cares?
The last sentence: why would it make someone 'put on masses amounts of weight' any more than any other sweetener?

Now add some food additives like MSG and you an Obesity epidemic.

How? HFCS is no more to blame for fatness than any other kind of sugar (replace your mountain dew habit with "mountain dew throwback" and let me know how much weight you lose), and MSG doesn't make people fat. HFCS and MSG may be unhealthy, but as we've already established, poisons are not necessarily fattening. They aren't even usually fattening.

And this quote is from the original article at the beginning of the thread. The first thing I say to myself after reading this is if we're not built to process this.......then how can we possibly be built to process synthetics, preservatives, additives, and other genetically modified ingredients?

Because synthetics are simply non-organic breakdowns of whole sources. Your body organically breaks down the same sources into usable compounds that share 99.9999% of the same characteristics. You might as well ask why we can perceive fluorescent light.
