Yes, although getting this across is difficult. Most commercial HFCS is 55% fructose and 45% glucose, although some higher fructose formulations exist. And since honey is a natural product, contamination from outside sources is always a concern.
What’s ironic is that agave syrup, the “natural” sweetener that is preferred to the “chemical” varieties, requires a set of fractionation methods and results in a final product that is usually a minimum of 60% fructose, but otherwise quite close to HFCS in its nutritional profile, although it does contain a minute fraction of vitamins that the other lacks.
My personal opinion is that sugar is sugar. Too much of any form of it can cause problems, but limited amounts of any form add taste. If you avoided Coke with HFCS definitely avoid it just as assiduously with cane sugar.
Well, some folks say that the cane sugar version tastes better. I’m not sure, but maybe I just don’t have a very refined palette. If you’re drinking it because you like the taste, and you can accept the sugar levels you’re getting in it, fine.
Avignon to me is clearly SSW of the Alps. Of course, seen from Melbourne’s perspective, it is practically the antipodes. John XXII was indeed a pope and is buried in the Treasury room of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms d’Avignon. Nice place to rest:
I knew when Jimmy Stewart died. I liked his movies, and my dad actually communicated with him when dad was in the FAA. What I did not know, was that Stewart elected not to replace the battery in his pacemaker after his wife died.
In the 1980s, a visionary had the brilliant idea to propel a ship from Japan to San Francisco, powered by a Chrysler LeBaron driving on a treadmill. Sadly, some narrow-minded bean-counter torpedoed the idea on the basis that it would be a waste of Chrysler’s government bailout money.
I was aware that the Mercedes automobile was names in honor of the daughter of one of the founders. What I did not know is that her name was actually Adriana Manuela Ramona Jellinik, and “Mercedes” was something of a nickname.
Cubby O’Brien, part of the original crew of Mouseketeers in 1955, took over playing the drums on tours when Karen Carpenter moved to become a front singer for visibility.
Barbra Steisand was the first major act to record a Donald Fagan/Walter Becker song when she included “I Mean to Shine” on her 1971 album of light rock covers Barbra Joan Streisand.
The first rock star to be born in the 1950s (other than child acts like Stevie Wonder) is probably Alex Chilton, the lead singer for the BoxTops. Born on December 28, 1950, he was still 16 when “The Letter,” soon to hit number one, was released in August 1967. (Obviously, many future stars born in the 1950s had been in groups before then, but none of them had that kind of starmaking hit until they were older.)
Interesting degree of separation-connection between The Beatles and Japan’s WWII surrender: Toshikazu Kase, who was a member of the Japanese diplomatic delegation on the USS Missouri in 1945 was Yoko Ono’s uncle.
In the West African country of Ghana, all men born on Friday are named Kofi. In fact, there are only seven first names for men, and seven first names for women, each corresponding to a day of the week. Everyone of each gender born on the same day of the week has the same first name as every other person born on that day of the week.
Inspired by a post in another thread, I discovered that ‘oxen’ is not a distinct species. Instead, oxen are cattle who are trained to perform draft work. An ox is generally a castrated male of a large cattle breed.
All due respect to Elder Brooksby but he is waaay over generalizing. Not even half of the Ghanaian population identifies as Akan language speakers. Among those who do many have given names like…
Odeneho. It means one who is independent
Bekoe. This is a child who came to fight
Katakyie. This is a very strong man.
Bediako. One who came purposely to engage in war.
Agyeman. Came to save the nation
Osei. A very noble man
Adiyiah. Is one who encountered a lot of sorrow
Abayie. Is a child who came well
Antobre. One who never experienced hardship
Abeberese. One who experience hardships
Acheompong. Attributed to be bearers of chiefs and also kings
Addae.It means the morning sun
Addai. Means clouds
Adekorato. Means treasurer
Agyei. One who is a messenger of God
Agyenim. A God given child who is very great
Ansah. Meaning a person who is royal
Donkor. This is a slave
Serwaah. One who is noble
Bagyina. Is a stable child
That’s a lot more than seven. I copied the above from your own link.
