...I was a bit disappointed recently though. When looking through the "ethnic food" aisle at the grocery store, I found the Coca-Cola from Mexico. What's great about Mexican sodas is that they use sugar, instead of corn syrup. When I double-checked the ingredient list, I found that they CHANGED THE FORMULA! My Mexican cola now contains "high fructose corn syrup AND/OR cane sugar. Looks like trade laws and other things have changed enough that they sometimes use corn syrup, and sometimes cane sugar, depending on whats available (read: cheapest) at the time.

Looks like a Rum & Coke is off my list of acceptable tasty beverages.


[EDIT: I just finished eating home-made Hazel-Nut-Chocolate Pudding! It's SOOOO good. Just because I am not eating corn syrup doesn't mean I won't eat everything else!!!]

I love Kashi foods.
I have been eating Kashi Go Lean for years, now I have to look and see if it has corn syrup in it.

Have you tried Diet Coke?
I know it is not the same as regular but, I don't think it has any corn syrup (or sugar of any kind for that matter)

I have lost 65 pounds since becoming a member here and have reached a plateau at 265 - 270.
Perhaps cutting corn syrup from my diet will help me lose the last 70 pounds.
So I now join in the fray as a corn syrup boycottee.
Thanx Ben for a great idea,
Schultz
