High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

Today, food companies use HFCS, a mixture of fructose and glucose, because it’s inexpensive, easy to transport and keeps foods moist. And because HFCS is so sweet, it’s cost effective for companies to use small quantities of HCFS in place of other more expensive sweeteners or flavorings. Another common use of HFCS is that is extends the shelf life for products that use it as an ingredient.

HFCS are mostly derived from corn that has been genetically modified and is therefore is somewhat controversial to those who care about what they put in their bodies. Naturally, HEALTHY MINI BAR™ is opposed to its use.
