High Fructose Corn Syrup

I know, today has been a day of fairly serious posts. I can't even begin to apologize, because this is just part of who I am. I just hope I don't lose you all! lol

I receive newsletters from Eating Well and love the information they send. Lots of recipes and such.

Today their newsletter included information about High Fructose Corn Syrup. There's been some new research, and apparently HFCS can contain Mercury. Lovely! I'm so glad that I read labels and ban the nasty stuff.

Drowning in HFCS

Look in your fridge, freezer & pantry, read the labels of a few items... you may be surprised at how many things contain High Fructose Corn Syrup.
