Week Forty Five: High Fructose Corn Syrup


Read these articles and decide for yourself - do you want HFCS in the foods you put in your body?  Wondering why companies use it?  It's cheaper and more shelf stable.  Is it in the consumer's best interest?  No.  Does it put more money in the food manufacturers' pockets?  Yes. Should you be angry about this?  No, however your dollar is your voice.  You have a choice in how you spend your money and what you put in your body.  Do you really want to take your dollar, spend it on cheapened, less healthy "food" so the food companies can make more money?  I know I don't.  Below two experts, Dr. Oz and Dr. Mercola, give you the facts.
I hope 2011 is your best, healthiest year yet!
