Read it.  Pegged the bullshit meter.  Still trying to get the needle
unwrapped from the peg.

Pure demagoguery.  Oh, artificial colors == bad => stop consuming
immediately.  Oh, "high fructose corn syrup" in Guiness?  Really?  Oh
and "High fructose corn syrup has been long banned from many stores and
drinks".  Gee.  I'm sure Coke and Pepsi would love to discuss that one.
I have no position to take in that religious debate on hfcs but I
continue to consume Coke even while I might wish they eliminated hfcs in
favor of cane sugar but...  "banned from many stores"?  On what planet?
Ok, ok...  I guess if you counted three or more health food shops that
would still be "many" even when compared to the bazillion still carrying
Coke and giggling like a silly girl reading that one...
