From the page: "Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity1,2" Yep this is a real surprise. Next they are going to say that bonking your head against the wall will give you a headache.

Remember, farmers use silage (fermented corn, similar to corn syrup) to fatten pigs up for the slaughter... Hmm.
