Ok what is with these 'healthy' products having high fructose corn syrup?! Come on!! The one that put me over the top was when I was at Ballys. They have protein bars at the counter and just because I was curious I looked at the ingredients. Not only was high fructose corn syrup listed, it was listed FIRST!!! What are they thinking?? I know it seems like MOST protein bars have it in them but to have it on the counter at a gym is just unacceptable.
Other products that just drive me insane are yogurts. It is not hard to make a healthy yogurt but even worse, Bob Greene puts his stamp on it! (I can't remember what kind it is exactly. I think Dannon.) I feel like that completely discredits him. How can he put his stamp of approval on products that have this poison in them?!
I hope everyone is watching out for these products. It's really amazing how much corn we have hidden in our foods. Especially High Fructose Corn Syrup. The following article is about a woman that gave up everything with corn. It's sort of eye opening because it's never what I think about giving up. Sugar, of course but corn?! Isn't that supposed to be healthy?? I think that it mostly is when it's not hidden. She talks about a documentary called 'King Corn'. It is about our addiction to corn. Very interesting. Has anyone seen it??
