Read the Labels!

Does your bread have high fructose corn syrup in it?? YIKES!  How about your cereal, snack bars, kids snacks, etc... it's worth it to read the labels to avoid ingredients like HFCS. High fructose corn syrup is a contributing factor in obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and it FEEDS cancer cells (they literally eat &  grow on HFCS). It's worth avoiding! Good luck!

    I didn't know that it feeds cancer cells! EW! I will start double-checking labels. We generally eat very well, but I am sure some HFCS makes it's way in. Is there an 'acceptable' level?

    I'll have to look into "acceptable" level, Karin... it's subjective, i'm sure!
