Nutrition Tip of the week #18

Confused about high-fructose corn syrup? Don't be.

Although current research shows that high-fructose is just about as dangerous as sugar, that doesn't mean you shouldn't watch out for it.
Since high-fructose syrup (HFCS) is a cheap alternative to sugar, the food it is usually used in is not high quality and is usually highly processed. So straying away from foods containing high-fructose corn syrup, most likely means you are straying away from low-quality, sugary, high processed foods.

So if you can aviod HFCS, by all means do.
