SUgar vs High Fructose Corn Syrup (both SCD-illegal)

Interesting article, that HFCS might be on its way out. Still, for

us SCDers, sugar of any stripe is not good. But for general health, I

can't help but be glad it's falling behind.

Thanks Marilyn for sharing the article with us. After reading it, I just had to write to the paper. I believe that the latest "push" (besides the whole obesity issue) for eliminating HFCS stems from the recent studies in January that showed mercury in many of these products. I personally know of many moms that are reading every label and not buying products with HFCS (SAD diet folks) because of this alone! I will not buy anything for my non-SCDers that has this either. I think the manufacturers are not selling as much as they did before and are now beginning to revert back to using sugar to increase sales. It's always the money!

Regrettably, true. And one reason SCD hasn't gotten more attention. You

can't, after all, patent healthy food....
