Good health to you!

I have had more than one friend tell me that they included avoiding all foods with HFCS and it made weight loss much easier, as well as helping them keep it off. They haven't bounced back.

There is a lot of it in many foods, (which might indicate where we have a problem) so check your labels and maybe try to cut down.

Just a suggestion. I avoid it myself as much as possible the the spread is gone now.
