If you read Mark Sisson then you know that it is possible to avoid corn syrup.
We shouldnt have to learn to avoid it. Food that has been deemed fit for human consumption shouldnt KILL you. It should nourish you.
As Mark said himself:
the intake of HCFS has helped unleash a plague of obesity, insulin resistance and even heart disease. Im no fan of sugar in general, but HFCS has an especially menacing profile
HFCS has generally added to Americans intake of sugars rather than replaced them. In other words, we now eat almost as much regular sugar as we used to, but now we inhale a whole other stream of sweetener in our daily diet, most of which is hidden in common processed foods.
Finally, the kicker? USDA Organic foods can contain them as well. HCFS made from organic corn is, well, organic! Its considered a natural ingredient. Never mind that its one of the least healthy things you can put in your body.
The bottom line: the pervasiveness of HCFS is yet another reason to avoid processed foods entirely.

We have warning labels for cigarettes. If we arent going to ban HFCS, then I want warning labels on every single product that contains it.
Well that's not going to happen since corn is one of the government's favored industries, so you have no choice but to avoid it.
Ooooooor......
While avoiding it, I could lobby for the removal of those subsidies and the banning of HFCS.
Just saying, this IS a democracy and we are supposed to have a voice. maybe rolling over and accepting it isnt the only course of action.
