Since April 1 2003, I have diligently avoided anything with HFCS or hydrogenated vegetable oils. This is very hard to do! For example, have you ever tried to find a barbeque sauce that didn't have HFCS? It's not easy. I finally found some at Trader Joes and at a local natural food store.
If one truly wants to eliminate HFCS and trans-fats from one's diet, it pretty much means avoiding processed foods altogether.
But the effort is well worth it.
What is that BBQ sauce called? Haven't been able to find any in the stores around here.
