I like saying "There are no Glutens in Pepsi", but it occurred to me today that most Pepsi has corn syrup. I knew that corn syrup was bad for a number of reasons, but it just hit me that Corn has lectins and therefor soft drinks with corn syrup have corn and therefor have lectins!
For some reason you just don't expect to get lectins from a fountain pop.
So... sugar is bad, but corn syrup is way worse, AND corn syrup has lectins.
It makes me wonder whether the incredible rise in disease in America is due to corn syrup, but not from the corn syrupy issues we have heard about, but due to the flood of lectins people are getting?
BTW: I am off lectins.
But I am back on Pepsi (but only if it is made with real sugar)

This podcast interview with nutritional biochemist Don Layman is about dietary protein. But Dr Layman also has a lot to say about the body’s response to sugar.. Great interview, found on Dr Peter Attia’s webcast, check it out:
The interview is with Don Layman, PhD, on Peter Attia’s podcast “The Drive”. Thanks- JG
Think you should read some books by Dr Robert Lustig….also found on YouTube..high corn fructose was created in Japan in 1966 to combat the price of sugar….the liver does not recognize it as a useable food source …does not know how to process it…and sees it as a poison…which is why it stores the converted fat…around itself….to protect the body from being poisoned..thus the increase of fatty liver in younger and younger people….many teenagers a month now having liver transplants in the US…there is a solution to heal fatty liver…choline and inositol….but you have to STOP using anything which contains corn fructose…
Sugar too gets converted into fat…very hard to lose once you run out of places to put it.
