I try to avoid it as well - and the best way to avoid it is to cook your own meals and bake your own treats.

Anything you buy that is ready-to-eat usually has HFCS in it.

I always thought cereals such as Special K and Wheaties were supposed to be good for you but HFCS is the second or third ingredient in them.

Like yourself I don't eat processed foods anymore, or very minimally and I feel 100% better. I sleep better, more energy etc.

When I do eat a lot of processed foods I feel lethargic.

Frankly, what Mrs WBill makes is far better than anything I could get in the store.

That being said, there's nothing wrong with eating a couple of "Oreo" cookies (or whatever). The problems stem from eating a couple of packages of Oreos. Then, sitting on your butt 12-16 hours a day and not exercising them off.

But, since the backlash is starting up against HFCS, and since politicians have no self-discipline and assume everyone else is just like them ....I'd look for HFCS to be regulated in the near future.

I have become a very careful label reader, and I try to stay away from prepared foods anyway, even the ones without HFCS. But, last night, I was foolish — and I paid the price.
