It's to the point where he insists on having water added to his juice or milk. (And of course, I make him swish with water after if he drinks either.)<BR/><BR/>I've been trying to avoid HFCS for awhile, mostly because I've heard that the things they do to extract E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10023959769203103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-1150233449912369232006-06-14T00:47:00.000+03:302006-06-14T00:47:00.000+03:30Ooo-ooo, and I just read DoctorMama's comment, and...Ooo-ooo, and I just read DoctorMama's comment, and I wanted to say "me too" to that.

I can't say I've been vigorously avoiding it, but I do tend to make my sweet treats from scratch--pure cane sugar, baby! See? I'm a TOTAL health nut. <BR/><BR/>Also, I've just been catching up on your recent posts, and I'm going to go look up Wordplay's release cities. I would love to see it again!

I've got a jar in my fridge right now, and it contains no corn syrup. Mr. Tangerine upgraded from maple-flavored corn syrup to actual maple syrup. The Heinz ketchup, however, is laden with corn syrup. At least I don't still eat ketchup sandwiches like I did when I was a kid!Orangehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433254398377357737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-1150224782906586222006-06-13T22:23:00.000+03:302006-06-13T22:23:00.000+03:30Yes!

I'll drink Diet Coke all day long myself, but Ben doesn't get more than a sip.<BR/><BR/>And that reminds me of another pernicious trend in corporatized nutrition: Food labels emblazoned "50% LESS SUGAR" (like this <A HREF="http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/Products/LowerSugar/index.cfm" REL="nofollow">oatmeal</A>).

I mean, I'm not going to be the kind of mom who won't let him have apple juice at a birthday party if they're serving it, but on a daily basis, no way. If you're going to eat sweets, chew them and swallow them.DoctorMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187502628715846144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109864.post-1150051291343611692006-06-11T22:11:00.000+03:302006-06-11T22:11:00.000+03:30I have been trying to cut it out of the filles die...I have been trying to cut it out of the filles diet for a while... it is sad to think that we were all healthier while drinking Kool-Aid...
