Caution for all Re: Bagged Spinach

[Carolann R]

Nancy I recenty lost a few pounds as did my Mom...actually since we've been on island. I talked to a lady who writes an article in the Puna News...Glenna. She told me she has lost 63 pounds and realized that high fructose corn syrup was a huge culprit. It's in everything processed...you really have to look for it and she said it actually goes straight into your liver and turns into fat...just what you are talking about.

So it occurred to me that the reason we've been doing well with our weight program is that I am not cooking any frozen foods...I am cooking all fresh fruits and veggies and baking my own whole wheat bread (with honey instead of white sugar)...without even knowing it, we have been detoxing from the high fructose corn syrup!

She also pointed out that other countries besides the US don't put it in many of their foods...(Canada, Mexico)...she happened upon a bottle of Heinz Ketchup (which typically is LOADED with the stuff) and it had none...she noticed the labeling - that it was processed in Canada.

I hope just this idea helps someone, since it really is a bad problem here in the US...

We purchased frozen food once since on Island and the lack of the processed food along with just regular exercise (walking or snorkeling) and I've lost about 14 pounds already. My mom doesn't even get that much exercise, since she is disabled and uses a walker and she has also lost about the same, and I am sure that cooking all fresh is the main cause of it...also stopped snacking which helps.
