I do agree that a lot of things are about "dosing" or "self-control". Since corn syrup is is SO pervasive, the average American gets WAY more of it (and all those extra calories that go along with it!) than anyone realizes.

By eliminating corn syrup, I am now paying FAR more attention to what it's in, where, and how much!


PS: For anyone interested, I am 6 foot tall, medium build, and weigh 183 lbs.

PPS: I added the first video to post number 1 of this thread!
