High Fructose Corn Syrup HFCS

I was looking at the label of the Lipton Green Tea and saw "Natural Flavors" printed there. So I went one step further and read that it also contained HFCS. I was very surprised. I always thought of Lipton being good for you until I saw that. It bothered me so much thinking about buying this product for my children that I decided to write Lipton about this. Below you can read the short statement that I wrote them.

One of Lipton' selling points is health. Then why does Lipton choose to make their products containing HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP? Yea, your "people" can say what they want about HFCS, but as for myself and mine we are going to stick with non-HFCS products. So until Lipton decides to take out HFCS as one of their ingredients we will no longer be purchasing your products.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is one of the worst ingredients that we can ingest. There are millions of dollars spent just to improve the reputation of HFCS. Do some research on this subject and get educated on its dangers. The only way HFCS is going to go away is if we STOP buying products with HFCS being one of their ingredients.

Polititions Not Telling The Truth

Congress Needs to Hear From You – Now! A special message from Robert Knight While Rep. Joe Wilson’s (R-S.C) outburst of "You lie!" during President Obama’s speech Wednesday night to Congress on health care wasn’t the most diplomatic statement, the president indeed made many claims that cannot withstand scrutiny. Let’s take a look at just a few: "Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. Let me repeat this: nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have." Several studies report that the proposal will cause millions to lose the coverage they have now. The Urban Institute estimates 47 million, and the Lewin Group as many as 114 million. That’s because Obama’s "public option" or co-ops and related schemes will quickly destroy the private insurance market. "There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false—the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally." None of the bills requires people to verify their citizenship or identity before receiving taxpayer-subsidized benefits. Besides, proponents claim that "47 to 50 million Americans are without health insurance." That figure includes up to 11 million illegal aliens. "Under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place." The National Right to Life Committee has shown explicitly how the bill will lead to federal funds paying for abortions through any government-run health plan. For one thing, the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funds for abortion, would not apply to the areas where the health funds would be disbursed. "As the Associated Press accurately reported in its August 5, 2009, analysis, ‘A law called the Hyde amendment applies the [abortion] restrictions to Medicaid . . . [But] The health overhaul would create a stream of federal funding not covered by the restrictions.’" "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits—either now or in the future. Period." The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that ObamaCare would increase the federal deficit by $239 billion over 10 years and "would probably generate substantial increases in federal budget deficits" thereafter. A study by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation released this week found that after a decade, ObamaCare would increase federal deficits by another $1 trillion. Stop this Madness in the Making! The Wall Street Journal editorial page, which has had a tutorial nearly every day about what is actually in the 1,013-page House bill and the new Senate "compromise" version offered by Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), summarized the president’s Wednesday night goal: "Mr. Obama's speech was less about persuading the public than it was a political pep talk to this Beltway constituency. He hopes to buy enough political breathing space with a bump in the polls—however short-lived—to steel their nerves to power ObamaCare into law. The only way to stop it now is with a giant wave of popular opposition." That’s why I hope you’ll tell your congressman and senators that you don’t want any of the current proposals and for them to start over, period! The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121 or (202) 225-3121. Please call or email your representative and senators now to voice opposition to this dangerous bill.

What good is reading a bill if it is a 1,000 pages long?

House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers a liberal Democrat who said “What good is reading a bill if it is a 1,000 pages long?

How many bills are 1000 pages long that they have already voted on and passed that they did not read?

Is this a standard practice of our government? It just blows my mind that, more than not, it seems that our Congress and House of Representatives are passing bills that they DO NOT EVEN READ! How can this be acceptable from any part of our government?

I will tell you why. It is because our govenment has made there priority to get anything passed in order to make the public think that they are doing there job. But in actuality how can they possibly be doing the job that they took a oath to do if they do not even read what they are voting on?

This is a travisty fo America. Our Congress and House get paid well , by the citizens of America, to protect and help the people of the United States of America. I say that a government overhaul is needed worse than any other reform that they could possibly come up with on their own.
