Pro-HFCS Ads: Do They Bother You?
The verdict is still out as to whether HFCS is any worse than sucrose. But whatever your thoughts about HFCS, the only thing natural about it is that the molecules originated in a kernel of corn. It's like saying a plastic bottle is natural because the molecules originally came out of the ground (from petroleum). To call it "natural" is really disturbing on so many levels.
We've given up HFCS containing foods. It's a case where we would rather err on the side of caution. Even if HFCS is processed exactly the same as sucrose (and the data is inconclusive on that from what I've seen), HFCS is found in the worst of foods. Our diet is so much better for having gotten rid of the junk that contains it.
For those interested, I have a blog where I chronicle our experiences giving up HFCS and eating healthier - and offer product reviews and HFCS-free alternatives: http://alifelesssweet.blogspot.com/

Hard to choose, but I'm going with a nice quiche.
