"Scientists see little dietary benefit in food companies’ scramble to swap out processed sweeteners for natural ones" quote from Chicago Tribune.
It looks like the food manufacturers are giving in to all the bad media coverage of high fructose corn syrup. It appears their sales must be dropping for them to switch their formulas from using high fructose corn syrup to regular sugar.
Does this solve the problem though?
Not at all!!!
You see 5-10 years from now we will still have millions overweight and some advocate group will blame the food manufacturers for using sugar in their products.
Never mind that 5-10 years earlier their were blaming HFCS in foods for the obesity problem. They will somehow forget about that.
When are we going to blame the individual?
Last time I was at the grocery store I don’t remember any food manufacturer putting their foods in my cart. I distinctly remember going through the checkout lane and paying for the foods that I put in my cart all by myself. Ok, my daughter Hailey may have put in a few things into the cart, but you get my point.
This article in the Chicago Tribune I think is pretty darn accurate.
HFCS is not good for us. If we eat too much of it yes it can lead to weight problems, but so can sugar. All they are doing is replacing one bad ingredient for another bad ingredient.
It is up to the consumer to make a choice in regards to what they are going to put in their mouth.
We already know the food manufacturers are going to do what they can to sell more foods and convince you to buy their foods.
It is up to you to say yes or no.
I want to hear what you think about this topic and who is to blame. Who should step up and take responsiblity?
Let me hear your thoughts.
