If you, like, um, almost everyone household in America are consuming large amounts of this junk every day. About 15yrs ago I looked through my cupboards and fridge and pulled out every item that had HFCG in it.
Since then I try to make everything from scratch as much as I can or have capacity to.
We have gone through hard season financially, like when Josh and I first got married. He was in school full time, we refused to take out more loans and I was working at a non profit youth shelter. We survived those first 2yrs on a wee less than $16,000 a year! Bahahah, after our bills were paid we had about $100 a month for food and gas! Yikes, right? But the coolest thing was that I continued to cook from scratch and we just made it work. Our big treats, when I worked overtime or we had birthday money from family, we would splurge on tasty fun cheeses and beer!
Something that I did not know about this beast of nasty is that HFCS has traces of Mercury in it! Mercury is a toxic metal that can exist as a pure element or in a variety of inorganic and organic forms and can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar to traits defining or associated with autism. And not to mention that all HFCG is genetically modified! SHUT UP! if not for any other reason you should take this out of your diet!
Please read the link below for a more clear view of it and start taking better care of your family. Reprogram your brain and watch your labels!
