Have you seen the industry ads about high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) being just like sugar and fine when used in moderation?
Take a look:
Ad for HFCS
Another ad for HFCS
Don't be fooled. They're probably seeing a drop in sales for some or many of their products that contain HFCS because people are becoming more aware that it's not a healthy ingredient.
The truth is HFCS is a synthetic chemical made through a complex chemical process, derived from corn starch using genetically engineered enzymes and most likely genetically engineered corn.
Studies show that HFCS is related to numerous diseases. Obesity is at an all time high since it's introduction. Children are now being diagnosed with type II diabetes, previously called "adult onset diabetes."
Forget the ads you see on TV, hear on the radio or read in newspapers and magazines. They're all paid for by the food industry because they want you to buy their products. Get your nutrition information from a reliable unbiased source that does NOT receive any money from the food or drug industries.

It is very dissapointing to see the Nutritional Info on the back of most products, they almost always contain HFCS. There are healthier alternatives for our families, it all starts in our own kitchen.
so i sat down to make a new blog about healthy eating and saw many blog names already taken...i typed in a few i had wanted to see what other people are writing about! looks like you have a great blog here! i was just on the phone w/ someone wondering what's all the buzz with HFCS and here i find some info.
thanks! i hope to check back more!
I was always skeptical of those HFCS commercials.. While I'm glad to see more people and companies taking an interest in health eating/living, I always wonder how much of what some companies advertise are "fact". For example, Lays potato chips and McDonald's have new ad campaigns focusing on their natural ingredients, but let's be honest.. how healthy can they be?
I am so glad to see your blog! I was tricked for so long by the propaganda of the food industry. I believed them and grew fat and unhealthy. I now "get it" and have started a blog too because I had such a hard time finding information out there. Mine is: http://myhealthyeatingdotcom.blogspot.com/
I look forward to reading more! : ) Tanya
