If you want to change your diet and start reviving your intestinal health a monumental first step is to choose to avoid high fructose corn syrup. Making the choice to avoid high fructose corn syrup (and the subsequent foods that it is an ingredient in) will immediately set you on track to making improvements in your overall health.
In theory avoiding high fructose corn syrup should be relatively easy. After all you only have to avoid one ingredient! In reality, however, it is much more difficult that it first sounds. High fructose corn syrup, which is bascially another word for sugar, is now a basic ingredient in almost everything we eat. In addition to all candies, doughnuts, pastries, ice creams, and deserts being filled with the ingredient, high fructose corn syrup is now exceedingly prevalent in even the most common “healthy” foods. High fructose corn syrup is now in most cereals, yogurts, canned fruit, breads (including whole wheat breads), jams, peanut butters, ketchups, teriyaki sauces, all prepackage meals such as lasagna, and most beverages as well.
