Corn-Fed America

Look for these names on the ingredient list and corn is what you have!

modified or unmodified starch
glucose syrup
maltodextrin
crystalline fructose
ascorbic acid
lecithin
dextrose
lactic acid
lysine
maltose
HFCS
MSG
polyols
caramel color
xantham gum

According to Michael Pollan's book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, corn is in coffee creamer, Cheez Whiz, frozen yogurt, most TV dinners, canned fruit, ketchup, candies, cake mix, frosting, gravy, frozen waffles, mayo, mustard, most hot dogs, bologna, margarine, salad dressings, and even vitamins. Of course this doesn't mean every variety available, but most if not all. 

Scary, how big corn is, huh? 

Break the cycle! Buy pastured meat and whole foods whenever possible!!
