Yes -- I think HFCS is a huge problem for a lot of people. But I agree that sleep deprivation is a HUGE factor in current US health. People don't understand that you need six hours of rest just for your brain to remain healthy. And if you only sleep 6 hours, the rest of your body cannot rest, cannot heal -- cannot process and metabolize properly. People with sleep apnea often lose weight once they are getting enough oxygen at night.

People need to learn how to turn off the TV & computer -- and get some sleep! (If they have a reversed sleeping schedule from illness like me, they have my sympathy. I'm struggling for better sleep right now!)
