you can't make the assumption that because a plant is not poisonous,
it is 100% good for you

Life isn't 100% good for us but look at how hard we hang onto it.

There are a lot of assumptions you can't make about plants.


and one has to reconcile the fact that we are living longer then ever
on mainly a corn syrup diet

Make that in spite of corn syrup. Obese, type 2, diabetic children
aren't going to increase the life expectancy average.

I suspect having cheap calories to eat overrides everything else, IMO

It's not cheap calories so much as it is the type of calories and the
combinations they come in.

If by "everything else", you mean reasonable eating habits and common
sense, I agree.

I suggest that having sugars, starches, fats and salt in certain
combinations acts on the brain in much the way that drugs do.

I don't have time to supply cites but the truth is out there.

Try sugar salt fat acts brain drug study
