Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
"The Corn Refiners Association is petitioning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use "corn sugar" instead of "corn syrup," saying that the name "corn syrup" confuses consumers."

and

"it launched a campaign with Weber Shandwick to address misunderstandings about high fructose corn syrup, which many Americans believe is more harmful or likely to cause obesity than sugar."

[link to www.prweekus.com]

Beware - this is really sneaky - we will have to read extra carefully if we are to distinguish between good old fashion cane sugar, and HFCS, if we can distinguish at all! I'd bet they are noticing their sales going down on products contained this crap.

Re: Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
I used to love HAAGEN DAZ vanilla chocolate almond ice cream
then for some reason stopped eating it. a few years later at a kids birthday party they served some. At the first bite I though-"This doesnt taste right"
Sure enough, it now had HFCS in it and they had been bought out by DREYERS;
When you incur debt you have to cut corners, which is what they did
SHAME HAAGEN DAZ used to be the gold standard of ice cream.
these days it tastes kind of bland. IT is TOO creamy-the old HD used to have
"crystals" of milk/cream like home made does

HERSHEYs choc syrup now tastes like choc flavored corn syrup

Re: Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
I noticed hunts ketchup now contains absolutely no high fructose corn syrup. They have changed their label and it's printed in big letters. So I think some companies are starting to wake up to the idea, people are reading labels and avoiding HFCS.

Sounds like we'll all have to continue to watch/read labels extra cafeful in the future.

I've been careful to avoid the stuff, and am loyal to any product that switches. (like Hunts Catsup, Arnold's bread, Jone's cola, etc.) They taste so much better, and I really believe you automatically lose weight just by cutting out on the stuff.

But now they want to trick us, and call it sugar, because more and more are starting to get educated on the stuff. (remember, it was in NOTHING until the 80's, and that's when the obesity epidemic started!)

Re: Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
the big names are subbing the HF for equally bad alternate ingredients

buy organic or at the very least do the majority of your shopping at the perimeter of the store and avoid processed foods altogether if you can. your health is more important than your taste which i am finding out now before it's too late. since i've switched my allergies have went away, skin looks better, and i feel a lot better.

Oh, don't forget---HFCS has mercurty issues as well from the manufacturing process. Bad stuff.

But they could just be printing what you wanna hear on those labels just to boost their sales.
How are we really to know for sure what the ingredients are in anything unless we had some sort of home lab test kit. :(

Just bought some Jones and Arnold's Bread today. No HFCS for the win.

I stopped consuming HFCS last year and lost 30-40 lbs just from that. It was in everything I consumed and once I figured that out and changed my diet away from HFCS the pounds started falling off.

Here is the task of all religions; to teach people that all beings of the world are closely inter-related. Although steadfastness or firm belief in God (Nistha) according to some particular faith and eligibility of the individual is congenial for healthy spiritual growth of every individual, religious bigotry which begets enmity is condemnable, as it is against the real interest of the individual and society.

Re: Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
Thanks, OP, for the heads up. I quit eating ice cream, too, a long time ago. It seemed every brand had that danged HFCS in it. Even Bluebelle! But all good things comes to him who waits.

Found a good, yummy ice cream bar called Blue Bunny. No HFCS in the ice cream, but there is in the cookie part. I know any is bad, but every now and then it's a treat. They are good! Also, in the Mexican section of some stores, you can find Coke without the "baggage". HEB is one.

We can't avid ALL of that nasty stuff, but we can alert each other to the products that sneak it in. Corn sugar! Sneaky dogs.

What the hell...you can buy a bottle of CORN SYRUP at the store and it sure looks like SYRUP to me. What is so confusing about that? I remember back in the day even Little Debbie Swiss Rolls used to be extremely rich and chocolatey..now they just taste like CRAP.

This keeps on and they won't put anything on the labels anymore.
Then what?
Most people don't read them anyways.
I do and many I know do, but I know of many that could care less as they buy for taste....period.
Cost and health be damned, they just want what they think they want.
If it weren't so awful it would be fucking funny.

Re: Warning - They want to trick us about High Fructose Corn Syrup!!!
The major problem isn't the HFCS in of itself, but it's the reluctance of the people to educate themselves on what is good and bad for your body.

Our culture suffers from a lack of balance in all aspects of our life. You can't keep dumping shit into your body and not expect health problems.
