Aprild your post doesn’t make much sense to me? How many other ingredients are in prepared food that you know nothing about? Should we ban MILK because of hormones and antibiotics they feed the cows? You are on a very slippery slope when you start BANNING things. Warning labels would do for me. Things like MSG or peanuts should have labels so we can make up our own minds what we want to eat or not. A ban on food additives is stupid. If a corporation choose not to use an additive or ingredient that’s fine, but let me choose. Even tobacco products aren’t BANNED they have a warning label on them. Stay out of my life and let me choose for myself.
Soon all we will be eating is Sloylent Green.
If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it cost when it’s free...now here come the taxes.....

April I thought your post was to the point. Thanks.
While trans fats now appear on food labels, the FDA hasn't yet set a maximum on daily intake, even though the government's health arm has said no amount of trans fat is safe! There you have it.

Or how about this article from a former

Back in the day of the late 70's early 80's my husband was a Oreo cookie monster. Well they changed the recipe for the filling and he must have been a super taster because the cookies were no longer tasty to him. He wrote and expressed this but to no avail. This year the trans fats were taken out of the Oreos, unfortunately Jerry was murdered by a drunk driver (5 previous DUI offenses before the murder!) in 1986 so he missed the good old Oreos formula return to popularity.
Guess I will try the Oreos again.
Aloha,

I am glad you posted...i was thinking about you the other day and hadn't seen you post for awhile and wondered how you were doing.
I do that alot...think of someone and then hear from or see something from them....anyway, make sure those oreos don't have the dreaded HFCS in them either!

Nice info on how Corn sugar is made...
Also, Hawaiian Sun and Aloha drink both contain Corn Sugar...
Tho, Royal Mills Coffee drink made in hawaii does not appears to contain it. I think it's best to keep away from soft drinks anyway. They are just empty calories no matter if it's fructose or honey / cane sugar.
I don't agree with the media. If your drinking a product and lots of it your gonna be fat if you choose to drink 300 calories of any type of soft drink I don't care what it's made of...
What ever happened to just have a coll refreshing drink of plain old WATER????

Theres lot's of water in beer! No good substitute for corn sugar when priming your homebrew, though.

I quit using corn sugar when I was making homebrew. I keged it in 5 gal soda pop kegs and charge it with Co2 after filtering it. Made for a clearer beer with out the dead yeast cells at the bottom of the bottle.

Eric, if you request the Dublin Dr. Pepper guys to use the Post Office, the shipping cost is a fraction of UPS. The last time I checked their site, you had to look for it, but the Post Office option was there.
Moderation is always wise. Cane sugar is not good in the quantities most Americans consume.
Cheers,
Jerry

Hate to bring back a dead topic...
But... anyone notice that Aloha fruit drinks are now made with NO HFCS! They also have 200% Vit C. Also if anyone cares I think the Pineapple drink has the most real fruit up to 20%! They use cane sugar for sweetener...
Enjoy!

Here's a diet success story. I am 6'1" tall and got up to an uncomfortable 240lbs. I quit eating flour and milk (substituted soy, rice milk, and whole grain sprouted bread, available in frozen section of health food store). Substituted local raw honey for sugar and HFCS. No red meat, lots of salad. Took a regimen of herbal cleanser to flush intestines(available at health food store). I still eat as much as I want whenever I want, and lost 40lbs in 6 months. Now I can maintain weight even if I cheat occaisionally (although I feel bloated and sick when I do). Shopping at the Health food store is a little more expensive, but I feel it is well worth it. I body board a couple of times a week for exercize and feel 200% better than I did six months ago. Thanks....
