Not all calories are created equal...

This is an interesting article a friend posted earlier today on Facebook. (Thanks Sami!!!)

Some tidbits...

"Today, 55 percent of sweeteners used in food and beverage manufacturing are made from corn, and the number one source of calories in America is soda, in the form of HFCS."

" The average Westerner consumes a staggering 142 pounds a year of sugar"

I'm sure this topic is one that could be debated back and forth but the article is a good read even with the occasional over dramatic flare.

Check it out if you'd like to know more!
