Re: The Devastating McDonald's Diet
I didn't know about high-fructose corn syrup until I've read it in your post. Interesting. I wondered in which other food products it is used apart from soft drinks and ketchup (I don't have any of those anyway), and found a list here: Accidental Hedonist - Foods and Products Containing High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
Surely there are many more. The safest is not to buy any food product that has an American company behind it.
This study is interesting too: Consumption of high-fructose corn syrup in beverages may play a role in the epidemic of obesity -- Bray et al. 79 (4): 537 -- American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
