High-fructose corn syrup. I have never really liked it, yet I find myself (and my kids, FWA and RJP) eating it too much. It’s time to break that habit, especially after checking twitter and seeing STA’s tweet about a study that links cancer (in particular, pancreatic cancer) to consuming fructose. Have I ever mentioned that my mom died a horribly painful and slow death from pancreatic cancer just this past September?
Here’s another reason I really don’t like high fructose corn syrup: their annoying commercials. Like this one:
I do like this spoof, however:
Yaz hates hates hates high fructose corn syrup and SCOURS the labels on everything. I have learned now what brands have it. It really is everywhere. I’m sure it is one of those things that if you had it once in a while it’d be ok, but that since it is in everything it is a system overload. Those ads are too much.
