So in search of bread n butter style pickles I came to discover the huge prevalence of high fructose corn syrup in all of the brands on the shelf. Classic dill style was fine. I eventually found some bread n butter ones at whole foods that did not have the corn syrup. I was there anyhow so it wasn't a special trip for elusive pickles, so it worked out well. But it did open my eyes a bit wider to the corn syrup connection & how it can snow ball into one massive syrup tidal wave in a diet that includes it.
If you stop to look at all the parts of a meal & count how many parts of it could contain high fructose corn syrup; it is really staggering.
When I look at label after label of products & see it. I can't help feeling like the major food producers have little to no concern for public health & well being. Sigh...
I am just one very little squeaky wheel.
*SQUEAK*
