The Farm Program
Unveils a Conspiracy
That Altered the
Sweetener Landscape
A new study published in the Journal of Philosophical
Transactions uncovers the disturbing connection between
HFCS and its effects on the human brain.
The research, conducted by a team of
neuroscientists and nutritionists,
suggests that HFCS consumption may
play a significant role in manipulating
the brain's signals related to hunger
and satiety.
The findings of this study underline concerns that have persisted for
years regarding HFCS, a common sweetener in processed foods and
sugary beverages.
The beverage industry's shift in the
1980s from traditional sugar to HFCS
has been the subject of speculation and
controversy, particularly given the
potential health implications.
T.H. Harbinger's THE FARM PROGRAM
delves deep into the history of how
a powerful Big Agriculture company
encourages changes in the US
Farm Policy to favor corn-based
food and fuel ingredients.
The story follows presidents, from Richard Nixon to Jimmy
Carter, and finally, to Ronald Reagan.
The book paints a picture of a
decades-long conspiracy in which the
US Sugar Policy was systematically
changed to pave the way for the
widespread adoption of HFCS.
T H. Harbinger's The Farm Program
illustrates how tariffs on sugar
increased prices, opening the
higher-priced HFCS to become a
lower-price option for soda pop
and processed foods.
Almost overnight food and beverage companies switched to the now
cheaper but potentially more harmful HFCS, rather than traditional
cane sugar.
The collaboration between Big Agriculture
and government officials, as detailed in
"The Farm Program," is reminiscent of
ways capitalism can prioritize business
over individual needs, in this case, a
healthy diet.
