Hoff Hit: High Fructose Corn Syrup

We've all had up to here with those High Fructose Corn Syrup commercials insulting our intelligence by claiming there is no harm in consuming it.  One problem, those commercials were bought and paid for by The Corn Refiners Association.

Here's a fact they don't want you to know, studies indicate that High Fructose Corn Syrup, a man-made sweetener, manipulates the chemicals in our body so we crave more of it.  It's also been linked to the nation's rising levels of obesity.  Oh and one more corn is a top GMO crop!

No thanks!

At the end of the day, sugar is sugar and we don't need it in everything we consume.  Don't think it's everywhere?  Start checking those labels folks!

This commercial is a little more accurate:
