Actually, it's not. You just have to be label conscious. I avoid HFCS very successfully by reading the labels. It's not too difficult. Occasionally, I have to choose organic products but there's a lot of non-organics that have sugar. Fortunately, as this article attests to, many companies are wising up and returning to sugar.
I am a label reader, that is why I know it is in so many products. You wouldn’t believe how long it takes us to do our weekly shopping. I just love all of the looks we get by other people. Oh well.
