High Fructose Corn Syrup

We all Know this stuff is bad right?

Well some people might buy into the touted message that it's the same as table sugar, but there is a resounding difference.  High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been majorly processed by science and not by nature. HFCS comprises any group of corn syrups that have undergone enzymatic processing to convert some of its glucose into fructose to produce a desired sweetness. 

This product is designed to make you fat and addicted to the super sweet

AND

It's in everything!

So like soy, HFCS is being put into almost all foods that have been through a factory. Tomato soup, icecream, soda, fruit juice, energy drinks,  all kinds of bread, Oreo cookies, cookies, yogurt, soups of all kinds, chocolate, fruit snacks, candy, power bars, cereal, deli meat, bacon, meats of all kinds and more! 

So on a daily basis, if your not checking on the labels of what you eat, you are being pumped with more scientifically created super sugar than you realize.

Some brands to look for that mostly get rid of HFCS are:

Safeway's Open nature brand has a large line of products from meat to cereal and icecream.

Newman's

Annie's

Chobani Yogurt

Fage Yogurt

AppleGate farms meat (you can find this at Trader joes, and local health food stores like whole foods, co'ops, market stores)

Hormel Natural

Kashi (watch out for the soy in their products though)

rudi's breads (you can find this at local health food stores like whole foods, co'ops, market stores)

Also a local farmers market is a great place to pick up your breads, fruit, vegetables, meat and a large variety of foods. Farmers markets are usually local, homemade and organic. It's a great way to support your local economy!

As Always though, watch your labels. Even these brands I recommend, I would suggest to look at the label because some products in the line have ingredients you should avoid.
