Would you like some mothballs with your Fruit Loops?

I have migrated away from any Kellogg's cereals over the past few years because of the long ingredient lists that include things such as High Fructose Corn Syrup. They recently had a voluntary recall that is discussed in this rather SCARY article about chemicals in our food and other products. The article essentially states that most of the chemicals used in food are not regulated or tested. That's NOT good!

"If a manufacturer possesses data showing that a chemical harms health or the environment, it is required to turn over the findings to the EPA. Critics say that creates a disincentive for manufacturers to test their chemicals."

Also note that Kellogg did their own investigation and destroyed the possibly contaminated products, so the FDA isn't doing a full investigation. HUH?!

and here we have an article that discusses research showing that all sugars are not created alike. Fructose (much of which we get in HFCS) helps pancreatic cancer cells to multiply. While the corn industry (subsidized and powerful) will likely discredit this research, I am continuing to avoid HFCS and will be more careful to look for fructose to avoid also.
