Ok, so has anyone noticed the advertisements for High Fructose Corn Syrup? You know the ones where they say at the end of them that it's just corn and corn is good for you... wow. Now here is a classic example of the all powerful manipulating media. In case some of you missed the teeny tiny print at the bottom of the screen, or page if it was a print advertisement, these ads are funded by the corn industry. I think they are getting scared about everyone coming to the realization that it's in almost everything, and it isn't good for you! Contrary to what the corn farmers want you to think, it's not good for you. First off, I think I read that almost 90% of corn is genetically modified (which we have yet to see the effects of on human bodies), second it's so highly processed that your body has no idea what to do with it. If you look on the labels of some packaged foods you will see High Fructose Corn Syrup, corn syrup and sugar, all in the same item!! This is not sending your body to the happy place it longs to be, believe me.
They originally made High Fructose Corn Syrup as a cheaper replacement for regular sugar. Now I see they are getting wise and reversing this decision in a lot of packaged foods. However, don't get too excited because the chances of that sugar being genetically modified is pretty high too! I know, it's just nauseating isn't it... sometimes I feel defeated, like I just can't catch a break with this stuff. That's why its safest to just make it yourself or buy it Organic.
