Where high fructose corn syrup my be lurking

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Is sugar of another name still as bad for you? Yes, particularly when it goes by the name 'High Fructose Corn Syrup.' Don't be fooled by this fancy name -- HFCS is sugar, plain and simple, and it lurks in places you wouldn't think. Back in the Skinny Jeans did a bit of research and found that HFCS is in many so-called 'healthy' items, including:
  • Yoplait yogurt, even the 'light' ones
  • Salad dressings, especially the light ones
  • Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches (noooooooooooooooo!!)
  • Smart Ones desserts
  • Special K -- all flavours!
  • 100 calorie snack packs
Kinda depressing, huh? The moral of the story is read the labels. You never know what's lurking in your food. For more info, check out the original post.
