Hi,
ReplyDeleteMy google alert for HFCS picked up your post.
I preach about the treachery of the industrial
sweetener, HFCS. Try StopHFCS.com for an extensive list of HFCS-free foods and beverages. I reread you list of foods to avoid. There's not much left. A little too radical for me. To your health.
Thanks for the comment. I went to StopHFCS.com. Thank you for offering that resource.
ReplyDeleteNot much left after the "foods to avoid" list? I'm assuming you didn't see the paired blog post regarding the foods to eat.
As for these lists, they are intended to be a guideline for a person interested in a "100 Year Life Plus". I always tell my patients that 100% compliance is not the goal. We all have to live a little. 100% is an unrealistic goal and failure then is a certainty.
This is a target guideline. Something to have on the table as you write your shopping list. The key to the 100 Year Life Plus approach is not to hit the bullseye 100% of the time, but rather to keep aiming and not walk blindly into morbidity.
As for the HFCS rant, I think that the focus on that one thing is a little too radical for me. But to each his own. I trust you will realize the health you pursue, I appreciate your effort to reach out and inform others and I wish you the best. To you health, indeed.
