Difference bet high fructose corn syrup vs corn syrup?

[patty]

Need your help again!

 

I was told that corn syrup is not as bad as the HFCS because it is less process. This issue came across because quit a bit of vitamins contain corn syrup, like the Juice Plus+ gummies.

We just asked this question a couple of days ago, but not in relation to vitamins. We were told that high fructose corn syrup is worse, but that corn syrup is not good either. We avoid it whenever possible.

I guess I have developed a pretty 'radical' attitude about corn over the last year. We are 99.9% corn free over here now.

The more I have read about corn to try and learn about how to avoid it for Tigger so that he doesn't react (aka tic), the more I have come to determine that it is BAD, BAD, BAD, for everyone, regardless of having an allergy or intolerance. I think I believe this not because of the crop itself but because of the way its seed is developed (right down to the genetically modified varieties), grown, harvested, and how the individual waste products of ethanol manufacturing are used to feed the poor sick cows in the feedlots in Colorado (same cows are fed antibiotics due to chronic illness and suffer from deadly ulcers if fed corn over 120 days.)

 

If you want my unabashed opinion on corn oil vs HFCS I would say avoid both like the plague.

Facts about High Fructose Corn Syrup and Refined Sugar

 

If you must include corn in your diet then try to eat organic corn products, non GMO varieties. Try to buy only organic grass fed beef. Honestly. When you read about this stuff it really sheds light on why our country has the lowest food prices in history and highest autoimmune/chronic illness/obesity/heart/cancer problems of all time.

Okay,

Sorry.

I just watched King Corn a couple of weeks ago and the feedlot images are burned into my brain. Just can't get past the visuals.
