Hoarder

There is a nook in my dining room, at this current moment, it has the essence that a hoarder my be present in our home. In actuality, we do, ME!

I am in LOVE with Pepsi throwback. Why in the world would anyone want to drink high fructose corn syrup? (However, I do prefer 'regular' coke, when I have a glass with my friend Jack, it just tastes better.) Reasons for the hoarding; it is only offered for a limited time, there is only one chain of stores that carries it, CC thinks he can drink as much as he wants, and it is healthier than soda with high fructose corn syrup.
This is what the Mayo Clinic has to say about it:
High-fructose corn syrup is a common sweetener and preservative. High-fructose corn syrup is made by changing the sugar (glucose) in cornstarch to fructose — another form of sugar. The end product is a combination of fructose and glucose. Because it extends the shelf life of processed foods and is cheaper than sugar, high-fructose corn syrup has become a popular ingredient in many sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and other processed foods.
They still feel that in moderation it is ok to consume. But if there is any concerns about it at all, why are we feeding it to our family, because it is cheaper? Friends, if you have little ones please be conscious of how much they are consuming.

Loves and Hugs-Why is our world so focused on making a buck? Our health is more important!
