I'd love to know what you read. I don't think that HFCS is any worse for you than sugar. It's biggest sin is that it's cheap, so it's thrown into a lot of things as filler.

Those are off the top of my head.


As to whether HFCS is worse than sucrose (table sugar), I don't believe anybody has shown that with scientific proof, but I'm convinced that it has an addictive quality that sucrose lacks. I don't think it is any coincidence that sugar consumption increased dramatically with the introduction of HFCS-55.

Try Walden's salad dressings; I especially like the creamy bacon and you can get it at Sprouts or at any health food store.

Mmmmm creamy bacon sounds good...too bad no health food stores near me!

Tried the Marie's Blue Cheese tonight - exceptional!
