		<description>I had to stop eating corn syrup because my son is allergic to it and I&#039;m breastfeeding him. I lost about 12 lbs in about 5 days.. I only gained 15lbs when i was pregnant with him and he is now 3 months and I&#039;ve lost a total of 35lbs.</description>

		<description>No offense but you&#039;re a little behind the trend on this one. More and more products are starting to say &quot;No HFCS&quot; the trick is that they just use real sugar.

Sugar and HFCS are pretty much the same and there&#039;s no demonstrated harm done by HFCS. 

So like the poster who was talking about coke made without HFCS is saying, a bunch of processed, non healthy food products (like coke) are made with &quot;real&quot; sugar and not hfcs.

I get the idea that it&#039;s supposed to be about not eating processed foods, but if you&#039;re going to be serious about it, just looking for HFCS is not going to be enough to change your life, especially if you just replaces it with sugar.

The number one rule is: If you want your eating habits to change, and you want to lose weight, you must cut out the bad stuff and NOT replace it with something else. 

Calorie restriction is the fastest path to weight loss, and you know that you&#039;re being healthy about it by talking to a doctor or nutritionist.</description>

		<description>I am allergic to corn. To find foods not contain HFCS was nearly impossible at first and expensive. However, over time you learn to read lables and not worry about the price, because of how good you feel.</description>

		<description>I think they knew the outcome of people eating corn syrup products already. Just look at the amount of obesity in the USA not to mention the type 2 diabetes
 and heart disease. Remember the old formula for babies in the 50&#039;s had corn syrup added to fatten them up. Maybe the idea was to make us sick  so the medical business flourish. Sells medicine too. I think it was done on purpose.  Just under the radar of the public.   Gina</description>

		<description>Write to companies and complain about HFCS or corn additives.  I just wrote to the corn industry because of their ads and &quot;sweetsurprise.com&quot; website.
Below is my letter:

   As a chemistry, biology, and health teacher, I think that this website (sweetsurprise.com) is deceiving the American public.
   In no place did you mention that the molecular make-up of HFCS is not the same as sugar (you forgot to mention hydrogen atoms)--that the cells have only recently been introduced to this &quot;chemical&quot; as food.  And what about the revealing &quot;and more research is needed,&quot; addition to most of the research.  Appears much like the tobacco industry claims of years past. 
   As I tell my students, the American people should boycott corn (corn in every way--even corn-on-the-cob) because of those TV advertisements.  Shame on you! 
By the way, those advertisements are hurting your health attack on the American people.  You wouldn&#039;t believe how many people are really enraged over those stupid advertisements.

   But thanks for an excellent teaching tool--I&#039;ve used such advertisements and the use of HFCS in multi-curriculum teaching strategies combining science, government, economics, history, and health.  I also draw attention to research statistics and the comparison of &quot;who&quot; is supporting such research--and the resulting conclusions.</description>

		<description>We decided to eliminate HFCS and see what would happen. So we started to check labels. I was shocked at all the syrup in my kids foods...I felt sick.
I will say that my 3 kids haven&#039;t caught every &quot;bug&quot; that passes by and their energy levels have actually increased!
They even questioned me about the commercial and they have learned to check labels before asking me for stuff.
UNBELIEVABLE!!!!</description>

		<description>I have been exercising and then started back on the Blood Type-&quot;Eat Right for your Type&quot; Diet and I see amazing results. I always do when I avoid &quot;CORN&quot;...  I am a blood type &quot;O&quot; and I mainly need protien...etc...
But I will mention that most people, in my opinion, dont know that they need FIBER in their diet to get the better results...I have Been taking Fiber and cleansing suppliments for about 10 years now and it makes a HUGE difference!!!  So, I relate to the Corn, Carb, and Crap Topics.....LOL.</description>
