Did you know?

I had a thought, and went to check my fridge. We have a squeeze bottle of jam in there that Gabe purchased to take hunting.

Brand-name store-bought jam has high fructose corn syrup in it!

This probably should have been a *duh* moment, but I just am so amazed at everything they put it into! I am starting to really buy into the theory that high fructose corn syrup is being used the same way MSG is... because it's addictive.

It totally is! They say its not bad for you but where they get you is the fact that it makes you want more and more and more and more,,, there for you gain weight.... Naughty naughty!!! It messes with your brain.. and in the end all you eat a lot and crave it to. So the people who make it also make a butt load of money cause our bodies want more so you buy more etc. :(

Ha! You girls gave me a good laugh, especially craving pop and big fat hamburgers!
It's like I don't really *like* McDonalds, but sometimes I just really want some of those stupid chicken nuggets! Yes, the fake ones! :-)

Hey,,,"light" or even fat free yogurts can also include the high fructose corn syrup? I was warned against these long ago...then I found that the walmart brand does NOT! And they taste Just fine! :O)
