I don’t think it’s horribly wrong, though I think if the median American would look at that ingredient and not know what it is or does, it’s probably not good for you. I tend to avoid it, but I’m personally realistic enough to say that if it’s 3/4 of the way down the ingredients list, it’s probably not horrible for your health. I will say that this lidt ignores added sugars. High Fructose Corn Syrup is simply a diabetes inducer. Unless it’s a fairly rare dessert, you don’t need added sugars.
You're right. I agree, especially on HFCS. But neither of us is volunteering to educate people on health or nutrition, let alone as an athlete-turned-entrepreneur. I’m no expert--just a redneck chipping away at MCAT prereqs. A literal sophomore. But I understand the need to not assume common sense on part of an average American. On health or nutrition or even basic hygiene.
Well, yeah, I think we’d mostly agree on that. But I think what I’m getting at is that if you need a background in chemistry to recognize an ingredient, it’s not a good thing. Now im realist enough not not expect a housewife in Mississippi to be able to go without storebought breads, pastas, and so on.
