I've never bought into the excuse that HFCS contributes to obesity - or completely believed that HFCS has some method of control over the hormone/gene/magical power wiithin a person to turn off the part ofthe brain that says I'm satisfied... A person gets fat (barring a rare medical condition) based on how much they eat... not so much what they eat. I have spent a lot of time researching it and how it's made, and there has been a lot written about it... and things that were known a few years ago, some organizations have learned more and changed their mind on it...
However, the past 2 1/2 years have taught me a lot about my body and how certain things -especially additives - make me feel... I avoid HFCS as much as I possibly can because I feed better when I do - I don't think it's mind over matter...
Has it made a difference in weight loss? Doubtful... I coul dhave gone on an all Skittles (just not the purple ones, I hate the purple ones) diet and lost the same amount of weight.
But reading labels and being selective about what I will and won't eat has made me feel better in the long run...
