Ha, the new commericals put out by the Corn Refiners Association are laughable! Have you seen them? Check them out here and here if you haven’t. I’ve only seen the first one but I honestly did laugh when I heard it on TV. Granted they are right.. it’s all about moderation, but what can you buy at the grocery store these days that DOESN’T have high fructose corn syrup in it? As I said, I agree most things are okay in moderation, that’s why when we’re some place other than home I don’t make it a huge deal. So, no I’m not going to single my child out at the birthday party or let them go hungry if there’s nothing else to eat than high-fructose corn syrup laden drinks and food. But I am going to make sure they’re eating well at home and educating them in the process. Here’s a great article with some quick facts (as the commericals do suggest you “get the facts”) from one of my favorite websites on health and green living.

I am glad you posted this..I have had similar thoughts…so ridiculous! Moderation isn’t exactly the way in which they have added it to the Standard American Diet!
