I saw a new commercial done by the corn growers association (or something like that) where one teen brother tells the other that corn syrup is comparable to sugar and is safe in moderation. This may be true but if you read labels you know there is no way that consumers are getting it "in moderation" because it is in everything. After reading labels I am thinking that a corn syrup free diet would be as much work and as restrictive as gluten-free dairy-free.
ReplyDeleteChristi,
ReplyDeleteYou are right, it would be very hard. The safest way is to cook all your own food -- bake your own bread, make your own beverages (or drink water), avoid all packaged foods. I don't think corn syrup can (or at least, it isn't usually) used in organic or other "health" food brands, so that would help too if you can't make your own. I believe we manage to avoid corn syrup most of the time.
