Today I went to the grocery store to buy a loaf of bread. I went to the Bravo supermarket over here on Nostrand Avenue. The South Beach Diet only allows me to have whole wheat bread. Since being on this diet I'm always careful to check the ingredients. There is no sugar allowed on this diet and I like to make sure none creeps in.
My loaf of whole wheat Dutch Country bread lists high fructose corn syrup as the third ingredient. It's so frustrating that I can't buy a damned loaf of bread around here that doesn't have HFC in it. I usually go to Whole Foods to buy The Baker bread but I didn't get around to it last week. It's so annoying that I have to go to Union Square to get a decent loaf of bread, organic fruits and veggies, or better quality food. Bed Stuy needs better choices. I can buy fried chicken, donuts, and chinese food but I can't find organic oranges or grapefruits. I can't find decent brown rice or decent bread. Just crappy Wonder Bread of Dutch Country. It's just not right.

you can thank the Wonderful Coca-Cola company for introducing the HFC chemical substitute for sugar. Its money saving properties have obvious advantages over sugar. The population control factors are also in effect. Even locations worldwide such as mexico who until recently used real sugar in coke, now have labeled "HFC or Sugar" is being used. Its a matter of time until everything will have HFC. Its very sad, HFC has been proven to cause cancer, Just as Dextrose has been proven to cause Prostate issues and cancer. Diet Coke and zero, is the world killer, and it should be banned along with HFC. Good luck with your diet. Goto farmers markets, and keep you eye open for HFC and dextrose if you want to avoid investing your money in the pharmacy in later life. Dextrose = Proscar = Then Cancer = More meds. Its all tied in..... $$$
