As a consumer, and overweight individual I have a small and healthy bit of information which I read recently in a popular news stand magazine regarding HFCS (more commonly referred to as: High Fructose Corn Syrup) that is an ingrediaent found in many household food packages which aids in weight gain (this is where SIZE does matter). Why is HFCS so important to talk about and be aware of? Because High Fructose Corn Syrup is SUGAR and no amount of counting calories, watching Carbohydrate intake, drinking gallons of water, and exercising a minimum of 20 - 30 minutes a day is going to be enough if people are taking in large amounts of HFCS's. This doesn't mean you need to give up Great tasting foods, it just means you want to read more and decide what is healthy for you and your family.
A few more questions...If you buy something because it is low in calories and/or carbohydrates (sugars) because you are trying to live a healthier more balanced lifestyle, why would you buy a product that has a lot of sugars or processed sugars added in to it? Doesn't this defeat the purpose you have set for yourself (your family)? Also, which do you think has no HFCS's in it, Wishbone Italian Dressing or Kraft Creamy Ranch Dressing, Heinz Ketchup / 57 Sauce or French's Mustard, Nabissco Wheat Thins or Frito's Corn Chips, Smucker's Grape Jelly or Jiff Peanut Butter (either flavor), and Karo's "Light" Corn Syrup or Torani "Sugar Free" Carmel Syrup? If you are not sure of the answer, check your pantry / refridgerator / freezer shelves and read for yourself.
Don't take my word for it... Educate yourself on the products you buy and the needs they can / can not fullfill for you (your family). Than come back here and write your own review(s).
