I used to enjoy grocery shopping a lot more before I started educating myself. Now I just get frustrated when I grocery shop. We do not have a health food store in our area, so it can be quite challenging to buy healthy. Last week my youngest son was with me and he was asking for some snacks that have NO nutritional value what-so-ever. I made a deal with him. If he could find this type of snack without any corn syrup listed on the ingredients I would buy it. Needless to say I did not make the purchase. High fructose corn syrup has made it's way into so many of our foods. The manufactureres have tried to get creative in what they call it now too. Processed foods are full of it. It is difficult to even find apple sauce with out it. Why on earth does someone need to add it to apple sauce?
The attached article has some general info. It definitely gives us something to think about...
