Others have asked me, and I’ve asked myself–why is not eating any food with high fructose corn syrup a goal of mine for this year? Great question. Honestly, it’s kind of a whim-of-a-goal. I’ve read a few things, and talked with a few people, that have told me a few good reasons. Here they are:

• Health reasons
  • Contributes to obesity.
  • Contributes to diabetes.
  • One of the main ingredients in soda, candy, donuts, and most fatty foods = don’t add to my burgeoning waistline.
