One official quoted in the UK article likened the potential health impact to that of tobacco in our current culture. But you can do your own homework to decide.Įven if the degree of concern is being overstated with a comparison to tobacco, this new information signals another reason to look hard at our convenience food choices. we spend as much as 90% of our food dollars on processed foods, a category more likely to contain acrylamides as a by-product. Which is yet another reason to shift more of our food purchases toward healthier choices such as fruits and vegetables, especially raw and unprocessed produce. And to double-check that nutritional regimens are optimally supporting built-in defense and repair systems.įor more on acrylamides, see this FAQ from the World Health Organization.
Whether you believe the caution has merits or not, consumers are continuing to trigger a shift away from products that contain high fructose corn syrup.
#Oroweat healthnut bread tv#
In our personal shopping just recently, we noticed that Oroweat has also expanded In an earlier post on high fructose corn syrup, mention was made here of Dole TV ads that touted fruit juice products without the corn-based sweetener. The number of bread products that do not list HFCS in the ingredient label.īack when we first began to watch for HFCS in our label reading, it was difficult to find breads in mainstream grocery stores that did not contain it. We were happy then when we came across Oroweat's HealthNut bread which was one of the only commercial breads we found that did not contain HFCS.
HealthNut also included a number of very good ingredients, so it became a long-time favorite at our house.
What's new that prompted this free plug for Oroweat? Noticing that several of the Oroweat breads now feature this message on the face of the package: "NO high fructose corn syrup". I have nothing against corn growers, and I realize that ongoing diligence will be needed on the part of consumers to watch for other ingredients that may be an issue.
