Rule 4- avoid products which contain high fructose corn syrup. Period, end of sentence.

We are going to do something a tad different this week. What I'd like you to do right now is go off to your fridge and open it. Pull out any product that is not a whole food item. In other words, if it lives in a bottle or a box, not a whole food in most cases. Now count up how many of those items contain the words high fructose corn syrup?

I'll wait.

In the interests of full disclosure, I've got a bottle of BBQ sauce with HFCS in it.

Now go count. Shoo!

Reply with the total count in the comments area. Any of those foods surprise you?
