sheesh. The only thing good about that list was that it did include most of the crappy mass-produced swill that ruined the beer industry in America<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Read it. Pegged the bullshit meter. Still trying to get the needle<br>
unwrapped from the peg.<br>
<br>
Pure demagoguery. Oh, artificial colors == bad => stop consuming<br>
immediately. Oh, "high fructose corn syrup" in Guiness? Really? Oh<br>
and "High fructose corn syrup has been long banned from many stores and<br>
drinks". Gee. I'm sure Coke and Pepsi would love to discuss that one.<br>
I have no position to take in that religious debate on hfcs but I<br>
continue to consume Coke even while I might wish they eliminated hfcs in<br>
favor of cane sugar but... "banned from many stores"? On what planet?<br>
Ok, ok... I guess if you counted three or more health food shops that<br>
would still be "many" even when compared to the bazillion still carrying<br>
Coke and giggling like a silly girl reading that one...<br>
