HFCS!
General October 24th, 2007How I hate thee, High Fructose Corn Syrup. I have been trying to avoid you like the plague and yet I forget how devious you are. How, you ask? Well for one thing, I didn’t know that you were hiding in both my raisin bran and my bran flakes. How dare you?! You were also hiding in Mrs. Stratton’s chicken salad, so I decided to make my own, free of you, only to discover that you were in my pickle relish and mayonnaise… the nerve.
HFCS, you are not wanted. Please stay away or I will take action.
Seriously, why do they have to put that crap in everything?

Isn’t it amazing what contains HFCS? It’s almost to the point where we need to all go back to substance farming and just eat what we grow ourselves. No wonder our ancestors were healthy, at least if you don’t consider the shortened life spans because of poor hygiene, disease and childbirth. lol

I found the blasted stuff in my bread yesterday!!!! Changed brands immediately (after reading about 20 loaves!!!!) and ended up paying over twice what the first would have cost!!!!
Anyway, before this gets away from me; just wanted to say good luck on your 5K and with the new job. Is the 5K in support of a cause or a charity?

Thank you for your support - I am also sorry for your loss as well. If at all possible, could you share what your friends did that helped you during that terrible time. I want to give her the best support I can…
Thank you so much for sharing.

OH my! Have you been living in my house? We have been looking for cookies without HFCS and it has not been pretty. The kids keep offering to make thier own; but I just can’t handle Toll House Cookie smell wafting through my house every evening.
We finally settled on the french ones covered with hazelnut chocolate! Le Petit something. I can’t read you the lable because they lasted less than 24 hours in our house (2 boxes did not last).
I am with you babe! If it weren’t for Trader Joes, I don’t know what I would do about HFCS. - dritta

Loud and clear! Being on south beach has made me cut HFCS completely and it wasn’t until then that I realized all the places it hides, like bread. It’s amazing how they put it in EVERYTHING, no wonder we all think we are eating healthy but are still fat!! And you ARE kidding about who the Red Sox are, right (please say yes, please say yes, please say yes…)
