congress will be debating a bill to tax soft drinks that contain sugar. "Sugar is bad for you!" Yet what they don't understand is that mammals must have glucose as "fuel" for our bodies. when all of the carbohydrates are used up in your body you metabolise fat, after that proteins. Then you go into ketosis and your breath smells like kerosene. Not good. It's going to become a nanny state where the government tells you what is best for you and how you will live.

There is nothing to back up this assertion. Just another tax so the government can waste tax money.

Before long congress is going to try and pass a flat rate breath tax just to breath the air. They will try and tax the oxygen that all the oxygen producing plants are making. Simply because the plant that put that oxygen off is on property that they already tax.
The fools in DC are just trying to get it where they have 80% of our money one way or the other.
Another example of "junk science".

it`s just another way to tax people,and if people complain about it they just say "think of the children"[;)]
they best way to think of the children is to make them do 50 laps. I get disgusted at the parents of fat kids. Geez! Don't kids play outside anymore?!!

Right, your body needs glucose.
Not frucrose or sucrose, or any of the MANY non glucose sugars.
Your body MAKES glucose. Those sugars in junk foods are not easily processed much less, they don't turn completely TO glucose. Your body actually MAKES glucose more efficently form starchy foods like pasta and potatoes.
SO.... I hope they tax the hell out of junk foods. Time for ya'll fatty fats to start paying YOUR sin taxes. [}:)]
It is the obese waterbuffalos that are costing the most to keep "healthy".
Might as well call it a "Tea Tax" and start the revolution!
you guys missed my thread earlier today.
i called for everyone to hijack a coke truck and meet at boston harbor[}:)]
Your body always has glucose in it.
Your muscles store Glycogen- which is a long chain of glucose.
As your body metabolizes glucose - it first turns it into Fructose 1,6 bisphosphate.
So at any given time, you will have a small amount of fructose in your body
Sucrose will be in just about any vegetable, fruit, or misculaneous plant matter.
Any law taxing sugar will undoubtedly set some stupid arbitrary limit to sugar content.
If people would exercise and not stuff their face so much, they could have their really sweet added sugar drinks (in moderation), and be just fine.
I don't think goverment cares what is good for you they just want the taxes
It's not about money.... They want all the power!
...and your soul[}:)]
Might as well call it a "Tea Tax" and start the revolution!
this time forget throwing tea or soft drinks in the harbor...throw the pollo-ticians in, in the dead of winter and without immersion suits [:D]
Also in "Demolition Man" Arnold was elected President. Funny thing is with Obama's questionable citizenship has set up a precedence which Arnold could get that Presidential Library. Too bad he won't be able to swing that in current situation in California. Unless he legalizes dope and 'roids which he was seen using in his early films in body building.
