Not a Bandwagon Mom

I do not consider myself a bandwagon mom.  I don't get caught up in the hype on just about anything, especially the fickle reviews on certain foods.  Take the incredible eatable egg -- one day it is as bad as a cheeseburger and the next it is a super food.  But one bandwagon I am jumping on is the Down-with-fructose bandwagon.  That stuff is in everything: your bread, coffee creamer, and your child's yogurt.  I am disgusted that the foods that I thought were decently healthy are just giving me more of the same.  I am happy to say that there are some products out there that don't have fructose in them, but you have to look pretty hard.  So I found a website that has a list of products to help save you some time and energy reading those labels.  Now remember that this list may not be completely accurate, so take a quick glance at those ingredients.  But I hope that this gets you started.  http://stophfcs.com/list.html
Now let's also remember that there is no substitute for just plain old fresh food.  Obviously there is no fructose in broccoli.  Fresh is best, but I know as a mom sometimes Jello Pudding Snacks can be your best friend when you are facing a cranky two year old.  I have decided that I am going to try trade some of my favorite products for similar ones that don't contain fructose.  I really think that I am addicted to it and that I eat more calories when I eat something with fructose in it.  My first step was buying bread without it, so that I start my day without fructose. 
I am hoping to report that I will feel more healthy, energetic, and in control of my cravings as I cut out the dreaded fructose.
