Re: High Frutose Corn Syrup

I would suggest Organic Agave to sweeten your lemonade, tea, coffee, etc. - it sweetens like sugar but without all the negative side-effects. Use in moderation, of course. To: "miralax " <miralax > Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2012 7:40 AM Subject: High Frutose Corn

Syrup

Part of what makes HFCS such an unhealthy product is that it is metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar, and, because most fructose is consumed in liquid form, its negative metabolic effects are significantly magnified. http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_6210.cfm

High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are also both incredibly hard for your body to digest. It can take up to four days for your body to fully digest high fructose corn syrup, as opposed to 24 hours to digest natural sugar.

We buy log cabin syrup, that contains no high frutose corn syrup, you can sweeten your lemonade with PURE maple syrup.
