Have you seen the commercial about “getting the real facts” about high fructose corn syrup? It’s the corn refiners that stand behind it. In the commercial one of the characters says “It’s totally fine when eaten in moderation”. Ok, so wait a minute… When was moderation part of our society? I have yet to see all us people follow moderation when it comes to sweet foods!

I went to their website to read what the corn refiners had to say and of course it was a lot of information about how great corn syrup is.. who could have known huh! Listen to this:

“High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is often the sweetener of choice because it provides many consumer benefits, including: sweetness, flavor enhancement, freshness, soft texture, browning, stability, pourability and fermentability.”

My comment on that statement: We’re not even supposed to eat that crap ok! If anything needs to be sweetened, flavor enhanced, freshened and browned, that really qualifies the food for a junk food to me.

As I see it, the consumer benefits just lead to consumer weight gain, tooth decay and empty calories lol.

Fighter Diet does not contain HFCS because it does not contain added regular sugar either.

I think the corn refiners should stick to selling baby corn instead!

The other commercial is for Kellogs K…. Hm… Is this some kind of corn product stand united campaign since this one of course too is loaded with HFCS.

Their special new product with chocolate delight flavoring takes the guilt out of pleasure so “you can indulge guilt free…”  Ah, come on!!!! You are not supposed to eat cereal as a nice calorie controlled treat, the whole idea is freaking bad! And who will stay with a little serving of 3/4 cup of it??? NOBODY who eats cereal at night I bet!

Kellogs is banned substance in my home. Always has been, always will be.
