I gave up high fructose corn syrup years ago, sweeten instead with granulated cane sugar. It's actually getting easier to avoid it, as more people catch on. HFCS gained popularity just about when diabetes and obesity started spinning out of control.

The other thing I avoid is fat on beef or in dairy. I've been told most of the antibiotics settle in it.

I live on what's now sometimes called "pure foods". It's getting easier to do so, as more people are watching what they eat, more mainstream foods are okay.

A majority of antibiotics are fat-soluble, so yes, any type of animal fat is going to be the storage locker for whatever the animal ate or was fed before slaughter.

I don’t do sweeteners at all. I am lucky to not have a sweet tooth, and I generally avoid any sweet foods except for an occasional peach or prune.

I’m an adherent to the Paleo Diet in general. While I disagree with their addition of certain high-sugar fruits, I find that a healthy mixture of Paleo, keto/Atkins, and non-soy has provided the most favorable results for my health.
