I found this article both scary and interesting. Its amazing what companies will do to save a buck.

I totally agree! After watching King Corn I eliminated all HFCS. It's horrible stuff that is so addicting. I guess that's why they push it on kids so much!
When I cut out sugars and cut down refined foods when I became diabetic I realised just how freakin addictive that crap really is! I went through MAJOR withdrawl! No lie! (And it wasn't just the pregnancy! LOL) It's just not worth it!!!
