Let me tell you about High Fructose Corn Syrup.
Way back in 1983 there came to market a new product called Corn Syrup. Instead of regular cane sugar they made this product as a sweetener that saved manufacturers a huge amount of money; about 60% savings but never passed that on to the consumers.
So, in the end, we're paying more for what we do get AND it's making Americans fatter and fatter. I was at the store earlier today looking for some jelly for my wheat toast (which now has corn syrup in some brands) and I simply could not find any jelly without Corn Syrup. So I didn't buy any and I will not buy any of this junk until they stop adding it. (which is probably never.) Bogus, I like jelly on my toast. (I ended up buying Nutella; a hazelnut paste spread for my toast. European tasty!)
Do a google search on High Fructose Corn Syrup and you'll find a ton of bad stuff about it. Even youtube videos have bad news about this stuff.
Stay informed and stay healthy!
