Listen

We do not have to demonize corn syrup and mayonnaise. Fructose corn and eggs are both very good fuels for the human body to consume depending on the demands. We may view at high fructose corn syrup as the 93 octane gasoline we cannot afford to put in our car. Mayonnaise is like the thicker grade motor oil. Sure sometimes they're bad especially in excess, but many times it’s good to change the octane of the fuel and viscosity of the oil. Our conditions change. Are we too stagnant or too conservative? Do we listen? We “perform” how we eat. Enjoy the good stuff and check with your doctor.

From Texaco:
Thus, a typical 5W-30 motor oil has the same approximate kinematic viscosity as a SAE 30 grade oil at 100 ° C, but it's viscosity at very low temperatures, while thicker than when hot, is much less than the 30 grade. This is achieved by formulating multigrades with a higher Viscosity Index than typical for single grades. So, while a 5W-30 oil will allow a modern car to start at temperatures as low as -30 ° C, the typical SAE 30 oil would be too thick to either crank or pump at that temperature.

Do you have the weekend off or something?

Vinnissimo: Did you know about my anti-corn syrup tendencies? I'm mocked for it at work. My perspective is simple: I've heard that high fructose corn syrup is processed in the liver, and my liver is otherwise spoken for.

You also have been the king of yin-yang food chemistry as long as I've known you, Mr. Jack-n-Coke.

Forgot to ask: Was corn syrup and mayonaise presented as a combo, a la peanut butter and jelly? If so, we definitely need to demonize that. They are not two great tastes that go great together.

You got corn syrup in my mayonaise! You got mayonaise in my corn syrup!

There is a fine line between ipso facto rationalizing and just having fun. I have no idea where it is. Hope I don't die b/c of this.

ipso facto was one of my favorite bands from the 80's, second only to ebn ozn.

Nah there wasn't a band called ipso facto. But I like it. You had me going there for a second.

However, if there had been a band called ipso facto, I probably would have been in it.

This is kinda like watching a ping pong match ... :)

I dare say that my comments provide as much intellectual heft as a ping pong ball.
