Hi Nancy,

Well, you have to be careful all in all.. today Ron bought me some fancy
chocolate cookies.. Pim's.. and they didn't list HFCS.. but they listed
"glucose syrup" LOL.   Now what could that be?? Well now, let's say this..
Glucose surgar is NOT "jps" (just plain cane sugar or they'd SAY that :)). we'd
read previously read that some companies had decided to "rename" HFCS so they
didn't lose their margin for profit.. and I don't expect it to get better.. :(

I'd have to check that.. I know that wegman's whole wheat hot dog buns don't
contain any variations on HFCS names.. but their whole-wheat hamburger buns do
(go figure).. read that book that Michael Pollen wrote.. the name escapes me at
the moment.. Anyway he lists the "then" known alternate names for HFCS.. and
some of them might surprise you..In this country sugar syrup is generally
hydrolyzed corn syrup.. in Europe, where those pim's are made I really don't
know, but I always fear the worst.

Ain't that the truth :)

That's pretty neat.. The only clambakes I ever went to (and they were heavenly
(BG) ) were when Ron's parents either had them or insisted we go to one with
them.. I think I was in heaven at the first one.. I do them now in the summer
and boy.. :)  I don't know how my parents ever lived without them :) :)

Take care,
Janis
