I just had an epiphany.
Whenever I actually get the chance I'll watch some recorded tv shows, thanks to my Tivo. My mind keeps replaying one show in particular...Bob Greene on Oprah talking about his new book and how to get and stay slim and healthy. I bought into his theory time and time again. Just a few days ago my husband bought a few containers of Yoplait Light with the Best Life Diet seal plastered right on the front. Heck - Bob says it's ok...it has to be ok, right? I always thought it was the healthiest food I could find if an expert told me it was. Once I checked the label I knew that we've been deceived many times before and it's my own fault I hadn't checked the labels years prior.
Second ingredient - High Fructose Corn Syrup.
I am floored.
Every week I'd bring in a bounty of Best Life food and who knows what it was all filled with. I'm sad actually, feeding my family junk all the while thinking it was the best. How can someone feel ok plastering their name all over products that contain HFCS and many other "toxins" (in my opinion). I have a European friend and she tells me that they don't even have HFCS in foods there. If that is true - we are so far behind in the game. American food companies are killing us and Oprah and Bob Greene talk lovingly about how healthy this food is.
Just sad
