Here is today’s blog entry from the No High-Fructose Corn Syrup List!

I know I just posted a high-fructose corn syrup commercial spoof a couple of days ago. But I just came across this one by the guys who made “King Corn” and had to share it. Let me know what you think!

A great new addition to the No High-Fructose Corn Syrup list:

Today’s new addition is in the bread section. Dave’s Killer Bread – available in more and more places! Most recently Safeway and Costco. It’s not just free of high-fructose corn syrup. It’s also certified organic, and people say it tastes incredible! If you’ve tried it, please comment and let us know. Thank you very much to Amy for sharing this!

Have a great no-high fructose day!

Your no-hfcs blogger,
Sherry

One of the worst “offenders” when it comes to high-fructose corn syrup is that of the condiment variety. Just today I found out Miracle Whip has hfcs in it! Even as much as I’ve researched about this stuff, I’m still occasionally surprised to find a product that uses it.

And also today, I found this site: http://www.ecosalon.com/say-goodbye-to-high-fructose-corn-syrup-and-creepy-preservatives/ which posted simple, delicious-looking recipes for some of our favorite condiments. I will definitely be trying some of these out!

Have you seen that commercial with the Moms talking about juice and high-fructose corn syrup? Here is the spoof video that was created in answer to that. Pretty funny! As if you can add so-called “positive elements” to make the negative ones just “go away.” They also forget to address the fact that it’s almost impossible to consume HFCS “in moderation” (unless you are very vigilant – which is what this site is about – vigilance, I mean, not consuming HFCS) – because it’s used as a preservative in things that don’t normally have sugar, like Worcestershire sauce and marinades and rubs.

Freestone Peaches and Bubble Up

Two awesome, nostalgic finds for today’s update to the Foods With No High-Fructose Corn Syrup list!

First is Lady Elberta Freestone Peaches! They are packed in “heavy syrup,” but it’s not hfcs. I remember from my youth my father going nuts over “freestone peaches.” I haven’t had any forever, but I’m going to use this can to make homemade Peach Cobbler. The recipe I have is from my Mom’s collection and my grandma says this was my great-grandma’s recipe. So there is all kinds of nostalgia in today’s finds already.

Next is the soda-pop “Bubble Up.” I didn’t even know they still made that any more. It’s a lemon-lime carbonated drink, and it says right on the bottle (yes, bottle) “Made with real sugar.” I don’t know where you can find this in regular stores. I got this bottle at a tiny, old-fashioned movie theatre in the heart of Seattle, where they sold popcorn in old fashioned bags and all the pop and candy was “vintage.” Well, the brands and styles were vintage. I hope they haven’t truly been holding them since they first came out!

Both finds are pictured here. Enjoy!

Two new finds for the NO-hfcs products list.

These two products contain no high-fructose corn syrup:
• Annie’s Naturals Organic Creamy Asiago Cheese Dressing
• Wallaby Organic Yogurt (all flavors)

As these are personal finds, I will be writing reviews of them soon – stay tuned! I will also be adding several new finds sent to me recently by e-mail.

I always appreciate it when visitors to this site send me an e-mail with their finds! Most so excited about their finds and many people have health problems they believe are associate with high-fructose corn syrup. So they are excited to find this list as well.

If you would like to be mentioned on the site, just give me permission to post your name (first name only is fine, location would be great, too) when you send me an e-mail with your find! I will even link back to your site or blog if you would like. I love link love! And I like to give back to the people who contribute to this site!

Swiss Premium Iced Tea is joyously announcing to the world that their prodcut contains no high-fructose corn syrup!  I love when, not only does a product stay away from HFCS, but it makes  point of announcing in on the label.  Makes it so much easier to make a choice!

Thank you, Swiss!  They offer several varieties of premium iced tea:

• Iced Tea with Lemon
• Diet Iced Tea
• Green Tea with Ginseng & Honey
• Southern Style Sweet Tea

and more.

Sounds good to me!

(full disclosure: I received no compensation or tradeoff for writing this post.  It is simply my own exuberance at finding yet another product that contains no high-fructose corn syrup and proudly displays that fact!)

New items were added to the list of food products that contain no hfcs. Thank to everyone who keeps sending in their finds!

• Franz Whole Grain White
• Thomas Kemper Sodas
• Special K Original Waffles
• Kashi Go Lean Waffles

I’m always pleased when we can add new items to the list, but I’m especially pleased when someone write in that the product explicitly stated “No high-fructose corn syrup” right on the the front of the package! It means they’re starting to listen!

Just Stop!

A new feature here at High-Fructose High – the Hall of Shame!

When a product that most people would not expect to have a sweetener in it lists high-fructose corn syrup in it, it is a contender for the Hall of Shame!

Today’s entry into the High-Fructose High Hall of Shame is Campbell’s Soup At Hand Creamy Tomato Soup. High-fructose corn syrup is listed as the THIRD ingredient!

Tomato puree, water, high fructose corn syrup…

WHY? That puts 1 serving of soup at 34 grams of carbohydrates (24 grams of which are SUGAR carbohydrates) – according to their own label.

That is, in my opinion, not much better than drinking a can of pop for lunch and popping a vitamin c lozenge. Your thoughts are welcome in the comments section!
