I am not a health nut… I enjoy butter, cane sugar, prefer cream in my coffee and I enjoy cooking yummy things designed to bring a smile. However, on occasion, I use a few already prepared products as a short cut and I was astonished to discover that high fructose corn syrup was an ingredient in my Rice Krispies! When did all of this happen? The fact is… I like to avoid ‘high fructose corn syrup’ and I will leave it to the scientists to explain why.
It doesn’t take a genius to realize that if two rats given equal calories and the only difference is that the rat getting ‘high fructose corn syrup’ becomes obese… well, maybe that is what is really happening to us!
It’s becoming harder and harder to shop in the grocery store… time for ordinary folks to learn that cooking requires more than a microwave… unless you like those larger sizes.
