Added-Sugar In Diet Worse For Fat Than We Thought:
So we’ve railed on about sugar and also fast-carbs, many times over the years.
Including the evils of the Inflammation Spiral that it can create.

:( No, this is not an entry on how to make a sub-nuclear pipe bomb out of a 2-Liter Splenda-fied bottle of Diet Coke, 2oz. Ammonia, #0000 Steel Wool, and a pack of Mentos.
(try BoingBoing for that)
Researcher Extraordinaire, Dr. Chi Tang Ho and his associates at Rutgers Food Science Department have tested several carbonated sodas containing that longtime HT “Agent Smith”…
