Last year I went to the nutrition summit with Sara Lee. There I learned about nutrition and feeding my family. I don’t believe that High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad for you, but I know from going to that event that it is an important factor for many of my readers and very close friends. Some of them will not eat food that has high fructose corn syrup added. Sara Lee heard your cries as well and now makes white and wheat bread without high fructose corn syrup. The major difference that I noticed was how soft the bread was. I’m sure that has nothing to do with anything, but it was something I wanted to be sure to mention!
Same great taste in my opinion!
Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Made with Whole Grain White Bread is now a good source of fiber and contains 10 grams of whole grain per 2-slice serving. Also, Sara Lee Soft & Smooth 100% Whole Wheat Bread now gives consumers vitamin D, as well as an excellent source of calcium and whole grain with 26 grams per two-slice serving.
Sara Lee sent me two loaves of bread so that I could try it out. They also sent me a Bento box with a coupon for another loaf of bread. These are both for me to donate to charity. I’m quite excited about using it as a donation and that I got to see what exactly get to giveaway to one lucky reader.

I know it is not good for you and seems to be in all of the foods you should not eat but sometimes you just need a little bad stuff.

I see high fructose corn syrup on the same level as sugar. In moderation, it’s not going to hurt. But if you don’t need it, don’t use it.

I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I’m not a fanatic. I’m not totally anti-high fructose corn syrup, but if there’s an easy way to avoid it, then I’ll do that.

I try not to give my son foods with high Fructose corn syrup or sugar. I think it makes him hyper!
I think it is okay, but the problem is, is that it is being put in everything. It makes it hard to lower it in your diet.

Like the commercials say, I believe corn syrup is okay in moderation, but like most foods too much can be bad.
I am not a fanatic about it but if I have a choice I’ll usually by the version without HFCS. I think it is not good for us to be consuming so much of it. Most things can be made without it so if we ask for it producers will start providing it.

Well i cant say I think it is bad so to speak, but i try to steer away from sweets in general!
I think…that I can taste the difference between HFC and regular sugar. Its most noticable to me in beverages and I don’t like that.
I think high fructose corn syrup is bad, especially when it’s in products that were sugar free to begin with. What happened to bread being just flour, water, and yeast (with maybe a little salt and oil)?

I think all foods should stop adding high fructose corn syrup in their products because I believe its causing the spike in childhood obesity.
I think it’s important to cut down on all types of sugar!

Mostly I think it’s too cheap–it makes it too easy to consumer too many empty calories
I think high fructose corn syrup may be getting a little too much hype but at the same time I do believe that it is in too high of a concentration in too many products and tend to look for those with less or none.

I think everything is good in moderation. High Fructose Corn syrup won’t do you any harm in small doses! 🙂

I think all things in moderation are fine. It is each person’s own responsibility to monitor what they eat and how much of it. However, I am all for the movement by companies to provide healthier products.
It is not good for you, I am not a fan oh high fructose corn syrup suelee1998 @ gmail.com
I think that it is really confusing and i need to read more about it.

I think High Fructose Corn Syrup is the enemy! I read the label of everything that goes into my shopping cart.

A lot of products I eat have it in them, so I don’t think it is bad for me.
We try to avoid HFCS when we can but there are some products that I can’t find good substitutes so it is still a part of our diets.

Sugar is sugar…too much of it is never a good thing. Great giveaway, thanks.

I don’t understand why HFCS is necessary in so many of our foods. I think there presence is unnecessary and if any sweeter needs to be added, it should be sugar.
HFCS is sugar to me, with the benefit of being grown in my area…
I don’t seek it out, but if there isn’t too much contained within, I’m fine with it. Old saying rings true: Everything in moderation.

I am not overly concerned about high fructose corn syrup
I have heard recently about how bad high fructose corn syrup is. I don’t know if it is true but I am going to avoid high fructose corn syrup as a precaution.
I have no problem with it.. sugar is sugar. I don’t understand why so many people want it banned.
