TV commercial (corn syrup) *movie*

[Guest guest]

I haven't seen the commercials. An interesting but a bit boring watch

is the movie King Corn. It's a documentary about how corn is in

EVERYTHING. HFCS is as *natural* as Splenda!!!! *YUCK*

HFCS is not allowed in my house.

You could come over and look at everything and I guarantee you will not

find anything with HFCS.

I consider it poison and won't touch it,

Most of the time I will not go out to eat just for this reason.

Unless it can be guaranteed 100 percent HFCS free I won't touch it.

As far as artificial sweeteners go I don't touch that either.

My diet is pretty basic and I make just about everything I eat.

A little time consuming at times but the safest way to go.
