High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is an ingredient that I cut out from my diet more than a few years ago. This is a highly debated ingredient that is found in so many processed foods that it can be a challenge to find something with out it.
Here is a New York Times Blog article about a new study on fructose. Whether the study applies to HFCS or not is argued throughout the comments. It is an interesting intellectual process to read through not just the article, but the comments that follow it.
I am particularly fond of comment #100, and if you read no other comments, read that one.
What I take away from this article, and the study, is something that I’ve said before. If you want to be healthy and happy, eat real, whole foods, get exercise, love yourself and love those around you. Cutting down on processed foods can only be good for our health!
