sugar

For more than a few years now, I've been doing my darndest to keep my High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) intake to a minimum.

For anyone who's ever read a handful of ingredients labels at the supermarket, it's clear this is something that isn't all that easy without either a) making everything from scratch or b) buying really expensive things. HFCS is in everything from ketchup to frozen dinners and cereal to toothpaste... and has been since the early 80s (at least).
