Food Rules…. Avoid food products that contain high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)

Packaged foods containing HFCS are reliable markers for highly processed foods
HFCS is added to foods not traditionally sweetened; avoiding them will cut sugar intake
Sugar is sugar. “NO HFCS” & “Real Cane Sugar” claims wrongly imply these products are healthier.
