High Fructose corn syrup

Stay away from HFCS... I have looked up alot of information on it, and it is not good. Do not be fooled by the commercials on TV. HFCS is in everything. In a study published in June 2008 Journel of Nutrition, researchers reported that increased consumption of HFCS doubled the subjects' lipogenesis- that is, their ability to make fat- when compared to glucose. In addition, the HFCS led to higher levels of triglycerides, a blood fat that is an independent risk factor for heart disease. These findings confirmed other research along the same lines. I absolutely will never eat anything with HFCS ever!
