Actually, the best way to find out if something has HFCS is to read the label - they hide it in all unexpected places - including certain brands of milk! I was at the grocery store the other day getting milk and this woman turned to another and said "This is the best milk - I can always taste how much sweeter it is than any other". When they left, I went and looked at the label - yep, HFCS added. The milk also costs more than regular milk! I know that low-fat cream also has HFCS added. So, read the labels!

Here is a website another Canadian VJer posted a while back (sorry, I don't remember who so can't give credit where credit is due): http://www.stophfcs.com/list.html - it lists foods that don't have HFCS.

The Vitamin Shoppe is actually quite good. I go there for most of my vitamins and minerals and supplements. I too take a multi-probiotic regularly. The Vitamin Shoppe carries a variety of options - some that have to be refrigerated and some that don't. Make sure you get one that has a high count - billions instead of millions - and contains both acidophilus, and bifidus. If there are other similar sounding ingredients listed ending in 'us' on the label that means there are other types of pri-biotics listed. These are the 'good' bacteria that support your intestinal tract. Digestion of our food includes enzymes that we produce, but also 'friendly' bacteria that live in our intestines. These can get killed off if you take antibiotics so it is always a good idea to take a good probiotic source, especially after taking antibiotics, to re-establish the bowel's optimum environment for digestion.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

I have been a busy bee this morning..

first I cleaned out our little patio area out back.. I got tired of waiting for hubby to do it.. I stuffed a lot of his junk in our storage space in the car port..:P

and then I washed the car.. I didn't do a great job because our hose is broken .. but it is cleaner then it was before...

and then I straightened out the closet that is under the stairs..

and then I swept the floor downstairs... and vacuumed the floor upstairs..

threw the rags in the wash..

and I have some chicken defrosting in the microwave right now, going to make some garlic chicken in the crock pot...

now I am going to go rescue the rags from the dryer, throw the chicken in the crock pot, have a shower and then make me some lunch and watch some TV....

Why yes you have been busy as a bee this morning! I thought Tuesdays were a work day for you though? Maybe I'm confused now!

diet foods make you fat

see bottom article, especially

clickie!

hmmm I found this old article on diet soft drinks/sodas, they can make you fat too

I know he has recent ones too.

clickie here!

I am way less concerned about the fat aspect as I am about the unnaturalness of these products.

They are so bad for your body and brain.

:P bleh!

I have coke zero with my Bacardi dark rum!!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

My mother is crazy into natural stuff, its insane the amount of research and work she does and how much energy she puts into this stuff.

speaking of Cheese Whiz..

one time when I was still back home in Canada.. my mom and I were trying to figure out what to make for dinner, as our supplies were low.. we deiced on crepes but all we had to fill them with was hot dogs and cheese whiz... now my one brother doesn't like cheese whiz, yeah crazy I know... so we don't tell him we put cheese whiz in the crepes and he is all happily eating them because they were quite tasty... and we wait till after he is done to tell him we put cheese whiz in them and he didn't want to believe us :lol:
