high fructose corn syrup

I had no idea it was in bread!   I have been trying to buy stuff without it when a friend told me it is in almost every bread!  Sure enough..took out my whole wheat bread and there it was.  Learn something new everyday

Re: high fructose corn syrup

  • Yeah, HFCS or other types of manufactured (Or natural for that matter) sugar hide everywhere (and in crazy amounts sometimes!)

    It's really crazy how much sugar is in things now a days.

  • ALTHOUGH I give my kid fruit snacks which really is a pile of HFCS, I do make sure none of his bread has it.  And for us as well since it's less WW points.  But he doesn't have fruit snacks everyday, he DOES have bread.

     

    I don't/won't have control over everything forever..  but I figure while I can and if $$ allows it, I buy the "better" foods for us.

  • i know ... its so bad. i found that whole foods wheat bread does not have it and i believe arnold whole wheat. its really hard to find a loaf without it in there.

    cereals, bakery foods from the markets, sauces and salad dressings, crackers (even ritz! and some goldfish!),  so many things have it. i always seem to check for hfcs and sodium lately.

  • It's in a lot of processed food. See the movie King Corn and you'll avoid it like the plague. HFCS is one of the 3 things I teach my students to avoid at all cost. The other 2 are any type of partially or fully hydrogenated oils, and artificial food dyes.
