Don’t worry, I’ll get back to posting new poems and testimonies soon, but in the meantime, I’m enjoying (or should I say fearing) finding foods in my own cupboards containing high fructose corn syrup.
Today I found a box that says, “Tastes Great and Contains 5 Grams Whole Grain!” The box also boasts that it’s a “sensible solution” with “low saturated fat” and “no cholesterol.” It’s a common food people feed to their babies as a snack as well! What’s this obesity-causing food?
Nabisco Honey Maid Honey Grahams. That’s right. Again, we have a food that seems like it shouldn’t be that bad. But the wonderfully yummy grahams contain not only HFCS, but also soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil.
Stay away from this garbage unless you want to grow fat and diseased. My sincere apologies to my baby for ever feeding her such junk.
I happen to love fruit juice, just about any kind. Check out the labels as there is a high percentage of HFCS in some of them. We buy only 100% juice. I knew about ketchup. Our diet only has a bit of that from time to time. I should check out the organic brands Eric. I have wondered for some time now about the foods that are being sold to us in the store. Read the labels! Here’s another thing – gassed bananas. We heard from our local Safeway that they gass their bananas (using ethylene to help ripen green bananas). I found this article on the internet this morning which is very informative, both pro & con. It’s time to really learn what we’re putting into our mouths. Thanks Eric for the prod.
