Hfcs is linked to headaches, so if you cut out the soft drinks and products with this nonsense in it, you’ll see a positive change. My friend cut out the artificial sweets and no longer has headaches that used to plague him. Also be on the lookout for products w/ stated ‘sugar’ content..as the sugar can actually be from sugar beets that are genetically-modified courtesy of Monsanto, the eviliest corp around..

Pure cane sugar (organic) is the way to go.

According to Michael Pollan:
It takes 10 calories of fossil fuel to make 1 calorie of corn starch.
Cornstarch is the first step on the way to making corn syrup.

The government subsidizes “high-fructose corn syrup in this
country, but not carrots”.

Kia is right about Heinz making HCFS-free ketchup.

Heinz makes 2 versions of their ketchup without HCFS: Simply Heinz Ketchup and Organic Heinz Ketchup.

Both are made with sugar and not HCFS.

Our family LOVES the Organic Heinz Ketchup. It tastes just like the originial with a slightly brighter taste. We love original Heinz ketchup, but we love the taste of the organic version even more! And it is organic and HFCS-free!

@Lauren! Exactly! High Fructose Corn Syrup gets in the way of your body’s signals to your brain and can be VERY dangerous!

All I know is that if I eat too much REAL sugar, I feel sick; but I never get that feeling with HFCS – that in itself convinced me to keep the heck away from the stuff. My body doesn’t recognize that chemical compound as food and won’t give me the “stop” signal when I’m eating it. Dangerous!

I have suffered with severe acne for years. 20 years. It started when I was 11 and it finally ended now, at age 31. What’s the difference? I cut out HFCS! It’s not food. It’s poison to our bodies, and my face is proof.

I am glad to see some manufacturers are following suit in the banning of HFCS- now if we can just encourage restaurant owners to become label readers, too!

I’ve noticed it in a lot of products! And sometimes it even says HFCS and corn syrup too! Why, both? Its about the money, its cheap, and not about the people.
