Wow. I learned this years ago. There was a time (A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....) when, after doing a lot of work in the heat and not wanting to drink something unhealthy (i.e. beer!), I'd have a nice big glass of cold cider - Mmmmm - until about 20 minutes later when it would hit me like chugging 3 bottles of magnesium citrate!

I think the empty stomach has a lot to do with it. After becoming deeply entrtenched in middle age, I figured out I am one of those people who can put on weight just by looking at something containing HFCS (and I also get cravings for more - it's an evil conspiracy/plot I tell you! ). It was around then I started learning more about the accursed stuff....
