Geeze, you mean you didn't hear me ranting when I saw those the other day? I know half my neighborhood did

Seriously, HFCS & sugar are NOTHING alike. Yeah, both are processed, but we could process sugar 300 years ago. Can't say that for HFCS. Lets not even talk about how a processes product always has a by-product. Gee or the fact that HFCS is *more* sweet than sugar, so if you used the same amount as sugar while cooking it would be inedible. Or how about the fact that they sneak HFCS into all sorts of non-sugary tasting foods which is probably the reason that we have such an out of control weight & sugar addiction in our society.

Grrr, can you tell the ads tick me off. I'm not even *that* fussy about whether we buy foods with HFCS either, I just *hate* false pro-crappy product ads!

horrible...horrible ad. my thought was...."uh...yeah. maybe not bad in moderation, but it is in EVERY.FREAKING.THING on the shelves" that ordinary grocery shoppers buy. there is no such thing as moderation with hfcs. the market is totally SATURATED with it. rediculous!!!!

I'm wondering how it can be "natural" when you read the manufacturing process. Oy vey.

I've seen two commercials now - one with a sugary drink in gallon jugs and another with a Popsicle-type treat. I'd rather give my kids 100% juice and juice pops.

HFCS is to sugar as cocaine is to Tylenol.
