\u00a0<\/p>\n

High-fructose corn syrup: is it hemlock, or the nectar of the gods? The Corn Refiner\u2019s Association (CRA) believes the latter\u2014that the dreaded syrup is really Aphrodite\u2019s bathwater.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sure, they claim that high fructose corn syrup has the same amount of calories as sugar and has no artificial ingredients. You have probably seen the commercials combating the urban myth; Eve offers Adam a cherry-colored popsicle and he initially denies it out of unbridled piety to the American Heart Association and its pyramid of truth. She reassures him that it\u2019s ok\u2014American, even\u2014and he takes it from her with an impish grin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0But the CRA hasn\u2019t told you everything. Not only is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) good for you, it also boosts romance. Dr. Ben Dofa of the National Institutes of Health reports:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cHFCS binds to the endorphin receptors in your brain, making you undeniably randy. That\u2019s why everyone drinks soda at parties. The lone wolf hanging out by the punch bowl isn\u2019t a loser\u2014he knows what he is doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0HFCS also doubles as sensual massage oil.\u00a0 <\/span>If you want to get in the mood, just head to your pantry and break out this disaccharide treat and flip on some Barry White.\u00a0<\/span>You will soon be reliving the summer of \u201969, rolling through the Kansas cornfields without a care.<\/p>\n

\u00a0So next time, show up at your date\u2019s door with a bottle of Karo and a bouquet of free-labor roses. She will be thankful you did.\u00a0<\/p>\n
