HFCS

[jennythereader]

An interesting article about how the industry is ending (or at least greatly reducing) its use of high fructose corn syrup.

except that in many places they are already IN the non diet stuff, because they are cheap.
not sucralose so much, but aspartame.

its in so many powdered drinks.... its in non diet lemonade. its in EVERYTHING soda in England.

trust me, they want to keep the sweetness up, but lose the HFCS? they will try to use aspartame.. because its cheap.

as someone whoo thinks the stuff is poison, and whose husband is allergic to it, and who has friends who are violently allergic to it, i keep an eye on the use of the stuff..... its going into more and more non "diet" foods.

Well, I haven't seen that much here; some packaging tricks to try to make you get the diet version, yes, but it's always clearly lower calorie and thus artificial sweetener. No artificial sweetener fools me for a split second; they all have a nasty, nasty taste. I know one person who gets literally STONED on the stuff (and very little of it), others who just get sick.

I'll be interested in a sugar substitute the very minute they can make one that can fool me, and works exactly like sugar in all my recipes. I'm not holding my breath.
