Ban HFCS

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS), a ubiquitous ingredient in America's processed foods, is a subject of heated debate. Those groups supporting HFCS usually stand to profit from continued sales: Corn Refiners Association, Center for Consumer Freedom. The opposition is generally politically motivated; they want to bring down King Corn and/or oppose processed foods on nutritional grounds. Whether you want to explore these issues or find lists of foods containing HFCS, this blog is for you.

Wishing you an HFCS-free Christmas!

It may not be easy, but you can do holiday baking/cooking and avoid HFCS! Whether it's the graham crackers from Whole Foods (there's also now a variety of graham cracker sticks from Harris Teeter that don't have HFCS) or Vanilla Wafers from Trader Joes, Karo Corn Syrup (now HFCS free!) or bread crumbs from Trader Joes, the basic holiday recipes can be made (with a little extra effort and careful reading of labels) without HFCS!

Have a wonderful holiday season!
