do you know what high-fructose corn syrup is?!
It’s a cheap chemical sweetener derived from corn syrup that’s found in processed food. Companies often put in their products, which causes you to consume more calories than you actually need.
You’ll find it in:
- cereal
- bread
- salad dressing
- ice cream
- crackers
- pasta sauce
- yogurt
- jelly
- jam
- condiments
- soda
It’s very addictive & poses health concerns.
It’s often linked to:
Obesity
Diabetes
Heart disease
High blood pressure
companies are getting smarter about labeling it as “fructose,” so don’t be fooled by the label “no high fructose corn syrup.”
always always read the ingredient list! I know sugar is unavoidable. I just want you to choose BETTER sugar options.
INSTEAD choose the following (preferably organic)::
organic coconut sugar
organic pure cane sugar
organic dates
organic raw honey
organic maple syrup
