Reply #151: I listened to a long interview with the author on a KCRW podcast

[Lorien]

he said that Americans are "the corniest people on earth"-corn is even becoming a part of our DNA! He stopped short of saying that HFCS is a threat to public health-but I believe that it is.

I also live on a very tight budget, but I only buy organic whole foods (except bread-I do buy baked bread because I'm short on time). Typical meals are salads (no dressing), veggie omelets, a bowl of berries, a handful of nuts, etc. I have fibromyalgia, ADD, and hypoglycemia-and HFCS makes ALL of those conditions worse, so I must stay with my very boring but healthful diet. :-(
