HFCS should not be consumed by human beings. Period. I can't believe
anyone chooses to ingest it. It's not exactly hard to avoid - just
read the labels. Better yet, try making your food from actual
ingredients (meat, veggies, fruit, dairy, etc.) instead of buying
processed junk. Everyone complains about HFCS in soda, but they seem
to forget about the phosphoric acid, which is also very bad.
Carbonated beverages are another thing (even sugar-free) human beings
don't need. What ever happened to cooking real food and drinking water?

Ah, but beer is naturally carbonated. Real beer, anyhow. And in the
old days, was often safer to drink than the water.

And not to be Debbie Downer, but I just read that many commercial
beers contain HFCS (Miller is one, Budweiser claims it's not)
