Ron, I think you should come up with a cookbook! My husband has just learned that he is starting to have some arthritis in his back, and he is not yet 40. I am 42, and am just beginning to realize the health benefits of non-HFCS foods, not to mention preservatives, artificial this-and-that, etc. It is proven that 70% of cancers today can be prevented through proper diet, lifestyle, and exercise changes. So why aren’t people listening?

Aunt Millie’s brand-name bread does not have HFCS, and there are other products out there that are now leaving this out of their foods. I think the more consumers fight back against HFCS, the more companies will listen.

FT – Corn starch is natural, but when you change the molecular structure, re-arranging the molecules to the point that the chains of molecules no longer resemble the corn starch, I can’t consider it natural, nor should anyone else.
HFCS is a man made highly processed sweetener with many adverse effects on the human body.
Our bodies function much better on mostly whole foods, vegetables, fruits, seeds, legumes, and other less refined, less processed foods like bread that doesn’t contain GRAS food additives.
Oh, by the way, the FDA also list HFCS on the GRAS food additive list, I wonder why? I stay away from all of the food additives listed on the FDA GRAS food additive list.

Science through Chemistry, has created a monster, HFCS, and it traps so many people, and no matter how you try, you can’t kill the beast.

It causes so much suffering in people because it causes their health to eventually deteriorate over time, it does takes a matter of years, but it eventually does steal our health, effecting the
young and the old, leading to so many of our modern day diseases that Americans should not have. The damage truly comes from what we eat and drink. And there is almost no escape.

The food and beverage industry is using so much of it, ADM and others can’t produce it fast enough and are constantly expanding their HFCS facilities.

I have been HFCS free for 4 years now, and really notice the difference. I am 65 years old with arthritis in my lower back, but being HFCS free, I have no pain from inflammation.

HFCS causes inflammation in tissues, joints, and organs, and when you have any inflammation in the body, it causes pain.

Being HFCS free will greatly reduce pain that millions of Americans experience everyday or will eventually suffer from the numerous diseases that will befall them by consuming the beast of HFCS.

You’ve got to be kidding, FT……do you really think anyone here believes that claptrap?

“A March 18, 2010 Duke University Medical Center study found that “increased consumption of high fructose corn syrup was associated with scarring in the liver, or fibrosis, among patients with Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).” NAFLD is not uncommon in the United States, affecting almost 1/3 of the adult population.”

People are becoming more aware of the dangers of HFCS, and moving away from it.

I haven’t eaten more than 50 grams of carbs a day since the early 90s. All my “sugar” comes from veg, fruit, and dairy. I eat almost no grains. In addition to not gaining the “middle age spread” my mother warned me would hit in my 50s, once I cut out all wheat my asthma vanished. Turns out I don’t have asthma, I’m just gluten sensitive. We realized years ago that to have a truly low-carb diet we would have to make just about everything from scratch. Turns out it’s better, cheaper, and easier to grill, broil, and roast our meats while one of us makes the salad and the other makes the cheese sauce, salad dressing, salsa, etc. A completely additive-free meal can be made in 20 minutes! Honestly,jettisoning the carbs was the best decision we ever made. Most people think DH and I are in our early 40s and are surprised to find that we’re pushing 60! Of course 45 minutes in the gym everyday helps, too. Back when we ate carbs we didn’t have the energy to work out.

What a precious piece of snark from the corn industry: “No, going back for thirds made you fat”.

No mention of how HFCS shuts down the leptin enzyme in the human stomach that tells the brain the stomach is full, thereby *causing* people to go back for thirds. HFCS causes the body to resist leptin; this resistance causes overeating. The stomach is unable to signal the brain to tell the mouth to stop eating. Big Food is aware of this side effect and want it to stay because it makes you overbuy and overeat their product. Evil.
