High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) should be avoided at all cost! I challenge everyone who reads this to try for 1 week to avoid any food with the ingredient: high fructose corn syrup.
You will be shocked at how difficult this is. Examine your children’s food’s and you will be shocked at how many foods have high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is the main reason our kids are overweight and obese and on their way to becoming diabetics. In addition, lack of exercise and too many video games don’t help.
The following is a partial list of some common drinks, for both kids and adults, which are loaded with HFCS. When present, losing weight will be almost impossible to lose.

Too Much Fructose Could Leave Dieters Sugar Shocked
ScienceDaily (2007-12-14) — Dieters should focus on limiting the amount of fructose they eat instead of cutting out starchy foods such as bread, rice and potatoes, report researchers, who propose using new dietary guidelines based on fructose to gauge how healthy foods are. … > read full article

I do not think that the author of this article has the enough reason why HFCS is the “main reason” why our kids become obese. Other articles that I saw showed their own point and they, yet, have said that it (HFCS) is not the main reason but rather it “aids” on the increasing consumption of calories thus it adds up to what we usually consume. Remember that on these articles, they concluded that when dealing about HFCS and its link to obesity, added research must be conducted just like the article here. I think that the author needs to have that encouraging factor if he/she wants to dare us people to stop consuming HFCS in 1 week.
