I’m with you, I now STAY CLEAR of High Fructose Corn Syrup like the plague. I just feel like an IDIOT for not figuring that out sooner.
Ditto! I used to drink Dr. Pepper like it was going out of style. Haven't had one in well over a year and don't miss it AT ALL. I also avoid anything with Aspertame. It wreaks havoc on your body as well. Originally invented as a pesticide.
I figured it out over twenty years ago, and was pretty much labelled a conspiracy theorist. At least now it's gotten possible to get food that doesn't have corn syrup in it. A little bit of granulated sugar as an ingredient is fine.
I'm also avoiding added whey and added gluten (I'm okay with the normal amounts that are part of foods). They destroy the natural balance of food. And besides, when you get used to food without these three additives, it tastes much better.
