Need another reason to avoid additional fructose and sucrose? According to the Pritikin Longevity Center, they both contribute to high cholesterol.

The information presented in this article is important and helpful. People also need to consider that the growth in the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup has been caused by the government tariffs on sugar. Sugar is kept at an artificially high price to protect the special interests of commercial sugar producers at the expense of taxpayers.

We should be lobbying to end artificial price supports that are costly and often times contain other detrimental consequences.

It is really very simple. Read the labels.

Do not buy anything with high fructose corn syrup. It is but one step to better health…but it is huge.

Just as a point of reference. I removed Soda from my diet completely (moving to water and orange juice) and lost nearly 30 pounds in less than 6 months. I then cut out all processed foods (specifically those with MSG and Corn syrup and nitrate/nitrites) and lost another 30 pounds in another 6 months. Its been nearly 2 years since I originally gave up soda and am much slimmer, healthier, etc and yet I haven't changed anything else about my lifestyle (mind you that was pretty big). We did the change due to the hyperactivity of my kids and it benefited us both. Plus I had the benefit of having an excuse to buy new clothes.

This also includes non carbonated drinks such as Capri Sun, you have to be a label reader. Or just stay away from anything in a package.
