High Fructose Corn Syrup

So I am always interested in learning new things about food and nutrition and I have heard and read a little about high fructose corn syrup but not enough where I could explain it to someone else why they shouldn't eat it. Over the past 2 years I have been preferring more and more things pure and natural and the closer to natural the better, thus avoiding high fructose corn syrup. However, I was checking some blogs tonight and found some info at http://happyfoody.com/ on the subject that I though I'd direct your attention to if you're interested.

I'm Impressed

So this is interesting. I was reading on Lindsay's blog last month about hand washing versus using the dishwasher. And you would think that because you're doing something by hand that you have to be saving money somehow right? Well, I decided to stop hand washing our dishes and strictly use the dishwasher, except for big items or things that really needed to be hand washed.(why would I hand wash when I have a dishwasher in the first place? Because I thought I was conserving energy. It turns out that I wasn't), except for big items or things that really needed to be hand washed. So, we just got our water bill today and in the past month our water bill went down by $22! Like I said, I'm impressed. We don't have the greatest dishwasher in the world, I still have to maybe rinse a glass or two that didn't get fully clean, but it's not too bad.
