High Fructose F#$%ing Corn Syrup

Jun 10, 2008 20:05

My mother-in-law gave me an issue of "First" that she was done reading, and what was the first thing I opened it up to? An article on HFCS. It said, and I quote,"The annual consumption of high fructose corn syrup has jumped from a 1/2 pound per person in 1970 to 62.4 pounds per person today, according to the USDA." WHAT?!?!? 62.4 freaking pounds?

Hi,
My google HFCS alert picked up your post. Yes, HFCS has invaded our food
supply. Courtesy of the Corn Refiners
Assoc., go to www.corn.org/NSFC2006.pdf
Pages 29-30 list all the foods and
products that contain HFCS. Some real
shockers even for me: lunch meats, breads, cough syrups (I checked, it's true). StopHFCS.com lists foods that
are HFCS-free. They welcome additions
and suggestions. Also, European import
stores are a good bet. Europe prohibits
GMO foods which safely eliminates HFCS.
Take care,
