BOX Says NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP

Yesterday at work, my product to promote was ICEE. 

As I read my promotional material one of the selling points was NO High Fructose Corn Syrup. I was happy about the product, since I feel HFCS is not healthy for people. 
On the floor I pick up my product out of the freezer. 
As I am preparing I am thinking if no corn syrup, it must have sugar. In my mind the lesser of the two evils. On the outside of the box it announces NO HFCS. However, under ingredients is Corn Syrup. 
Admittedly this threw me, since I thought corn syrup is corn syrup. NO it is not! I would have looked it up on the spot but we are not allowed to have or use cell phones on the floor.  Of course a few people asked me what was the difference? I told them I didn't know but if they had a computer they may want to research it a bit. 
When I got home I wanted to know what the difference between HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and regular CS (corn syrup). Here is what I found on one site which seemed to match other sites.

  "Both high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are frequently used in processed foods in place of sugar. These sugar substitutes are used because they are cheaper than sugar. They are present in everything from cereals and prepackaged desserts to sodas and different types of bread. High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are also both incredibly hard for your body to digest. It can take up to four days for your body to fully digest high fructose corn syrup, as opposed to 24 hours to digest natural sugar. That said, you should know the difference between high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup. Here are some of the facts:
High fructose corn syrup is actually created by converting dextrose sugar that is present within regular corn syrup into fructose sugar. This process allows the high fructose corn syrup to taste remarkably sweeter than corn syrup.
Unlike high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup actually originates from a powder. It is made up of dextrose sugar, which is why it is not quite as sweet as high fructose corn syrup.
This means that you can still develop diabetes as a result of eating too many products that contain corny syrup. 
The truth is that if you're eating too much of either, you're probably doing harm to your health." Information in quotes from Fit Day for the full article click here

As will all things in life, moderation seems to be the best course of action.  
Another issue with some shoppers is Food Coloring. Many people with young children checked the box for the food dyes and said "that would send my child into a tailspin." Evidently food coloring affects ADD in both children and adults. My customers teach me too!
Thank you parents who are paying attention to the items in the foods they are feeding their children.
