I wonder if HFCS is as poisonous as people think.
We are a reasonably robust species, and the
proportion of sugars in a sweetener shouldn't be
a deal-breaker when it comes to survival.

I used to think that way... but it does appear that my system doesn't
do well with the HFCS, any more than it does with the artificial
sweeteners, so I've been avoiding it more studiously than I used to...

What your system likes isn't necessarily the same
as what it can take. Perhaps HFCS is not a great
idea, but you're not going to die from it unless
there was something else seriously wrong.

Or it pushed something into becoming seriously wrong...

And actually understandably not workable.... Except for the origin, they were the same, but I can see that making them not the same ticket....

They have these nifty things nowadays called
computers, which keep track of things far too
detailed and fussicky for human brains.

At least that's the theory.... ;)

Okay, they're supposed to be able to do so, and
I submit that by and large they can.

Ok.... as long as they are properly programmed, anyway...

The lady who developed the first CRS (whose
abbreviation was the source of innumerable
jokes, despite her system, made for United,
working without a failure for a decade),
Evelyn Berezin, died last week.

Was she old...? (yeah, I know, what's old nowadays.... [g])

In her 90s I think. She also invented the
word processor.

Full of years, then... :) She left a good legacy... :)
