How is everyone doing?
Hubby discovered that when he eliminates HFCS soda from his diet, his weekly weight loss triples. Went from .2 a week to .6 a week.
Then we found the Mexican-bottled coca cola made with cane juice, and man that tastes so good, but it added those daily calories back to his diet, and his loss went to .4 per week (interesting that the same # of calories resulted in more loss than with "normal" soda, but he still did lose despite those calories). Once that box of 18 bottles were gone, he went back to .6ish again.
Looked at the ingredients on two of my fave kinds of girl scout cookies. For DS's sake, that was good. For myself, I just keep thinking of what Hagrid says in Harry Potter, "shouldn't have done that".
Have found out that we can trust DS to know, innately, when something he's eating isn't OK. Found that out with some Morningstar Farms breaded products, when he just stopped eating them and refused to explain or eat more. Finally went to the freezer and read the ingredients, and he was right, there were corn products, so we didn't push him anymore about it.
Oh, back to Coke.

A friend of ours is a collector of the genre (ha), and we had him look back at various cans and bottles that he had. And he verified for us that the Coke before the whole New Coke Classic Coke thing was sweetened with sugar, but following that whole thing, HFCS made its debut. Since "we" only had New Coke for awhile, only collectors had the old cans, and they likely weren't drinking the old Coke...so when Classic Coke came about, we didn't have that immediate notice that they tasted different. Anyway, there's a whole conspiracy theory that many could get into, but I liked that we had this source of ingredient labels from the "old" days so I could just verify for myself that the Coke I "grew up with" just used sugar, but then later switched over.
