I love your blog-- I've never posted before, though. I was just reading through your about me section and noticed you take glucosamine synergy. I love running but do get runner's knee.

HFCS is made from corn dextrins because corn is so cheap and because it is sweeter than regular table sugar... but they just use an enzyme (glucose isomerase) that changes the glucose to fructose that way the HFCS has more fructose and is sweeter. I think more research is needed whether is mkaes people eat more or it upsets the bodies ability to digest because i think the recent debate is the body does not recognize this type of sugar and therefore inhibits breakdownsportsnutritionlivinghttp://sportsnutritionliving.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-60910332093143114162008-08-26T12:03:00.000-04:002008-08-26T12:03:00.000-04:00HFCS is SO TOXIC that it's banned in Europe, as well as in many areas of the world that consume more sugar than we do, yet are slimmer. If you're interested in learning more about how corn became the American behemoth it is today, I HIGHLY recommend Netflixing the documentary "King Corn." It's very well-done, and very relevant in light of November!Kimberlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15731480102600487663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-70105767467869383002008-08-26T11:40:00.000-04:002008-08-26T11:40:00.000-04:00This looks amazing.

What a cool idea for oatmeal!<BR/><BR/>Recently I've seen some magazine ads for HFCS. Anybody else see them? They say something like, "My hair stylist says HFCS is bad for me." "Well, is she a doctor?" Very insulting and patronizing in my opinion.

It's always such a concern I've mine and I've found in more difficult to avoid now that I'm living in South America. Food companies here have yet to jump on the no-trans-fat train like those in the U.S. Oh well, I'm doing the best I can and sticking to whole foods whenever possible.

It is actually one of the reasons that I switched to organics. Since HFCS isn't organic, so it isn't in organic foods like cereals, bars and even ketchup. It is hard to keep it out of your diet but it can be done!Christie I.http://whatiateyesterday.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-79827819338161200652008-08-26T08:43:00.000-04:002008-08-26T08:43:00.000-04:00I also try to avoid HFCS whenever possible. Just like you, I always make sure to read over the ingredients list carefully because I have noticed that foods you expect to be healthy often actually do contain HFCS.Foodie (Fab and Delicious Food)http://fabanddeliciousfood.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-19762130502666698212008-08-26T07:55:00.000-04:002008-08-26T07:55:00.000-04:00Anon - The label will say "high fructose corn syrup." Fructose in itself isn't as bad as HFCS, as HFCS as undergone a chemical processing to make it sweeter. Fructose in itself isn't bad... it's naturally found in honey, berries, melons, and some vegetables (like sweet potatoes). So, just check the label for HFCS.Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856782450518599452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8065396697330827869.post-27276799617650484422008-08-26T07:48:00.000-04:002008-08-26T07:48:00.000-04:00How do you know if something has HFCS in it?
