FOOD

Yes i am talking about food again. We all know about the bad for us things that are put in food now a days? Trans-fat ( bad for you ) preservatives ( bad for you ) and let's not forget sodium ( very bad for you ) of course i try to stay away from these things but it is hard especially since i don't like to eat tree bark lol.

There has been a lot of talk about how high fructose corn syrup is really bad for you. did you know that it actually makes you grave more sugary foods and research has suggested that it can affect the brain development of children!

The other night while eating dinner with my family i said " i wonder how hard it would be to eliminate high fructose corn syrup from my diet" my mom said " oh, that should be too hard to do " I took a look at the ingredients of the food in my house. Well half of the food in my house contains it. I went to the super market and looked at labels and this stuff seems to be in everything! If it is soooo bad for you why is it in everything? now of course i could shop at a whole foods market and pay double the price for my groceries but my retired mother and I can't really afford to do that. I am still going to try and cut back on my intake of high fructose corn syrup. I will let you know how that goes.
