It is always a pleasure to hear from you. I bet you might find a copy of Sugar Blues in a local library. Have a great 2009. @Adam Shake: Adam, thanks for the great comments.

Appreciate your information and I have a copy of Sugar Busters and it describes all the downfalls of to much sugar and corn sweetners. Seems like not to many people interested in good health and nutrition. @Becky: Thanks for your comments.

That Sugar Blues book sounds like a great read. I wonder if it's still being published! YES! That Sweet Surprise campaign is so misleading. The sweet surprise is that due to subsidies, HFCS is so cheap that it's invaded our pantries, giving us a palette for sweets. Thanks for the great post, Steve! HFCS is one of my pet peeves. (Though I'm sure you could already tell!) Hi there, Adam! That Sugar Blues book sounds like a great read. I wonder if it’s still being published!

Thanks for the great post, Steve! HFCS is one of my pet peeves. (Though I’m sure you could already tell!)

The use of corn pervades every aspect of our society. From the "food for fuel" controversy to the doubling of childhood and adult onset diabetes rates in the last 10 years, to world grain prices. Corn is King, and it's a sad fact, but just like so many other important subjects, its due in large part to lack of consumer knowledge. The Corn council has a new Television ad out now, you may have seen it, and the byline is "HFCS is Natural!" It is, just like Cocaine is natural. Doesn't mean its good for you, or our children. There was a book written back in the 30's (It was on my Grandfathers library shelf) Called "Sugar Blues" and it preached the addictive nature of Sugar. It listed observations by missionaries in Africa, on what happened to the culture of native societies when sugar was introduced to them. It was scary. If you click on my name, it will bring you to an article I wrote about Corn a while ago. Steve, you and I seem to follow the same path, often. Keep up the good work Steve. Good to see you out and about Becky, Adam Becky, I just keep running into you all over the place, Steve, excellent article.

Check the ingredients on the bread, cereal, and crackers in your pantry. It's in salad dressings and even certain brands of tomato juice. You can eat a relatively healthy diet and still be consuming HFCS at pretty much every meal. The thing about HFCS is that it’s in more products than just sweets.
