High fructose corn syrup is evil.
I’ve been wanting to write a post about the dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup for a while now.
After trying to find a loaf of wheat bread that does not contain the stuff, I’ve been on a HFCS rampage.
Even loaves of bread that claim they are healthy, like multigrain and kosher brands, are made with the cheap, dangerous crap.
Bread doesn’t need HFCS or even sugar. There was a time when honey wheat was made with, I know this radical: HONEY.
Well, anyway, everything I wanted to say about high fructose corn syrup can be found at this post at Fallenmonk. He also provides links to research the topic.
Next time you are at the supermarket, look at the labels. You’ll be shocked at how high fructose corn syrup is in everything we eat.
I’ve been on a rampage about HFCS for years. I predict that one day it will be illegal but that that day is still far off in the future. Tied in to government farm subsidies, etc. etc. Thanks for posting about it. Going to go check out your link to Fallenmonk now.
Yes, HFCS has invaded our food supply.

P29-30 list all the foods and products that
contain HFCS. Some surprises: soups, yogurt,
cough syrups. Of course that won’t help you find
what is safe to buy. There is hope. HFCS.com
lists HFCS-free foods. They welcome additions
and suggestions. Also, try European import stores. Europe prohibits GMO foods which safely eliminates HFCS. European governments
are genuinely interested in the health of their citizens down the road. Why? Because European
governments pay for their citizens’ healthcare.
Woops, its StopHFCS.com.
