Here is the other article I wrote that went down with our web server crash. :-)
This is bound to be one of the most controversial posts I will write here on this blog. (edit October 3, 2011: No, this isn’t going to be my most controversial post. My post controversial will be my post on sugar I plan to write in the near future. In it I will jump and down on a lot of people’s sweet teeth. :P) So, with fear and tremblin’, here is the spill on corn syrup. While most of these articles refer to “high fructose” corn syrup, I am also warning you of corn syrup in general. It is dangerous as well. Just clarifying as someone recently said, “but it isn’t high fructose corn syrup!” There’s really no difference in the long-lasting effects.
The Murky World of High Fructose Corn Syrup explains the process in which corn syrup is derived. Yew.
Soft Drinks, is a interesting and sobering article about one of the main corn syrup drinks Americans drink.
Interestingly, an article about High Fructose Corn Syrup by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Another Interesting article on Corn Syrup. And yet another one by the same other, 5 Reasons I Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup. And the last in the series.
Here is a cute ‘commercial’ on High Fructose Corn Syrup that about sums everything up:

Processed sugar is sugar. A little is not harmful, but the boatloads we are around on a daily basis will make your life miserable.

“…the boatloads we are around on a daily basis will make your life miserable.” I agree with that. Thanks for your comment! :)

PS: It is almost impossible to avoid all processed sugars (corn syrup too). Short of eating at home every meal, it is a must to read lables!

I disagree. It is not impossible at all. My family is proof. If you cook/bake your own food, then it is very easy. We never cook with anything but raw honey and Pure Raw Cane Sugar (sucanat). But when buying processed foods and eating out, it IS almost impossible to not eat processed sugars.
