avoid high fructose corn syrup

I’m doing my best to avoid HFCS. The biggest problem is when I want a soda: do I go for the HFCS or the diet soda? I know diet sodas are really bad for you (and they make me have to pee!), but HFCS is too. It’s a hard decision. I’ve been going the diet route the past few days when I get that urge.

HFCS is scary stuff. It’s super sweet and really bad for your body. I’m going to try to cut it out completely. It’ll mean lots of label reading, but I think I’m prepared for that. It was kind of a wake up call to realize that I got a bottle of gatorade earlier because I was trying to make sure I was rehydrated after cheer camp, and I realized that the second ingredient was high fructose corn syrup! That’s certainly not going to help me rehydrate and re-electrolyze.
