High Fructose Corn Syrup has received a lot of attention in the past few months, partly thanks to a 30 million dollar ad campaign by the corn refiner’s association that let everyone know HFCS was a controversial ingredient.

We now know that fructose is converted to fat in the liver with greater affinity than ther sugars. Not only that but it tastes terrible.

Now there’s a new website complete with a forum and up to date news so you can spread the word and make your own diet healthier. The website is called Stophfcs.com and we at Vivi Beverages support this type of effort - knowledge is the key to a healthy lifestyle, so go the stophfcs.com and learn a few things about HFCS that the corn refiner’s association would probably rather you not know.

Snapshot of the International Space Station

On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image was taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR
