TakePart Post - Take Action: Say "No" to HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)

June 29, 2010

"Mystery sweetener High Fructose Corn Syrup, or HFCS, shows up in everything from soda to salad dressing. Sign this no-HFCS pledge, and read the ingredient lists on the food you eat—it may curb your appetite."

While almost impossible to eliminate entirely, HFCS is among my personal top three food items to avoid: (1) soda (which has HFCS), (2) fast food, and (3) foods with HFCS and hydrogenated oils. Doing away with these three things is a major step towards better health and more conscious eating habits.
