I was told that high fructose corn syrup is a powerful strength REDUCER, as in Coke and Mountain Dew, plus you can get your blood loaded up with excess triglycerides. Then your doctor will say you need Gemfibrazal or something like that, which will eat up your muscle fiber. They made me take a blood test, I told them about the liter of RC cola, you bet I got a prescription. Took the garbage for 10 days and I could not shoot my heavy bow. Found out the stuff tears down muscles, my heart is muscle, threw it all away. Talked to another doc about them moving up the blood test and telling them about the cola I drank, he said one word that said it all, 'idiots'. My blood work was perfect, but I shook bad when the blood drugs were in my system.
