I sometimes use honey as it has some anti fungal properties. I don’t have it every day, just every once in a while.

Still, everyone loves their sugar . . .

Faced with not enough people shoveling down their Light & Fit yogurt, Dannon decided to add 4g of sugar to each cup, relabeling it as “now improved flavor!!!”, and taking the calories from 60 to 80. Grrr.

Granted, yogurt might not be on everyone’s primal diet, but for a small snack its certain you could do worse.

Hey Mark,

This might be taking it to the next level, but what are your thoughts on sugar alcohols as a reasonable substitute for sugar in cooking? Is thinking about using sugar alcohols also part of the counter-productive mind set you were talking about?

Thanks for the post!

All the Best,

Andrew R

Maria - for the antidote to those awful adverts, check out this alternative I created. Not as professional, but it makes the point well enough! Alternative HFCS Advertisement

new_me,

I did a quick search and found a site that claims HFCS is called “fructose-glucose” on labels in Canada. I don’t know if this is universal, but it is at least one more thing to watch out for.

I might have missed something along the way, but I’m confused about something.

How is HFCS stated on the ingredients list on labels? I have looked on numerous things and have never seen “high fructose corn syrup”. There is “sugar”, “glucose”, “fructose”, “…syrup”, but never “HFCS”.

Might this be something that is different up here in Canada?

I mean, I’m sure it is in there, but what is it called?
