I HAVE noticed that simple things like lunch meat, tomato sauce, salad dressing, "wheat" bread, etc have HFCS in it . . . and I'm wondering WHY? Even the ones that claim to be "health smart" on their label. You really can't shop at the "regular" chain grocer stores. We do a lot of shopping at Whole Foods and other smaller natural grocers in the Bay Area and farmers markets.

Everything made my Slim Fast has it too! You'll even find it in those healthy frozen dinners. It's a shame. The problem is, we've gotten so used to the taste, that things that don't have it, don't taste "right". You really have to stick it out and re-acclimate your taste buds. Oh absolutely!

I saw this lady on TV saying how if we eliminate HFCS out of our diets we'd see so many changes in our health including weightloss. Immediately I went to my kitchen to see what I was putting in my body. Even the things I thought were healthy had HFCS like my Fat Free Wishbone Italian Salad Dressing!!! Girl!!!
