How to get rich off the suffering of others
Today I said to myself: "I’m gonna be rich."
Well, in order to do this, I had to devise a plan.
"I know! I’ll sell something that Americans want, no, something they NEED (or think they need). I’ll make it like a drug… yeah… like a legalized version of cocaine. Nobody will be able to resist my product!!! My product will be a best seller.. everyone will want it, even if they don’t know exactly why. It will be the "in" thing. Once I put it on the market, it will spread like wildfire. My product will be found in every house, every apartment, every office building, on every streetcorner. I’ll make it a food, or even better… I’ll hide it IN food. I’ll hide it in as many foods as possible. I’ll make it cheap. Extremely cheap. It will be so popular that I won’t need to charge much for it to line my pockets with millions. Hmmm… but what if my product is dangerous? What if it hurts people? Oh, no bother… noboby will be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that use of my product causes disease. Besides, the FDA will back me because they’ll make a ton of money off of drug sales to treat the ill effects of my product!!!"
Man, I started to get so excited that I began researching how to put my plan in action. It didn’t take me long to find this article:

I found out that:
The chemical formula for cocaine: C17H21NO4.
The chemical formula for refined sugar: C12H22O11
The difference? Sugar is missing one nitrogen atom. Statistically, Americans consume more than their body weight per year in refined sugar, which is hidden in practically all processed foods. It’s known to cause hypertension, diabetes, depression, neurological disorders, weight problems, dental rot, nutrient deficiencies, and a multitude of other ill effects on the human body.
"Dang it." I said to myself "Somebody beat me to it."

-4 Carbons, +1 Hydrogen and +7 Oxygen atoms as well. In chemistry a difference of 1 Nitrogen atom in a molecule can give the resulting compounds much different properties. Their only similarity is that they are both organic compounds, not surprising as they are both derived from plant sources.
Note; it is the overconsumption of sugar that causes all these side effects. The human body has evolved to metabolize simple sugars for energy, among other carbohydrates. We haven’t evolved to metabolize all the simple sugars found in modern society.
Anyhow, I apologize for lecturing. You’re point is still valid, we eat too much sugar collectively as a society.

Ok… ok… you got me! I’m no chemist!! Matter of fact, I haven’t looked at a Periodic Table of Elements in years. Bottom line: the two have very similar chemical makeups… dig in if you want :-/
