CORN SYRUP IN EVERY THING!

At the supermarket today they had Turkey Breasts on sale for $1.49 a lb. I put one in my basket and went to get some Cranberry Sauce. 
When reading the ingredients HF corn syrup was the sweetener. I usually don't buy products with high fructose corn syrup if I can avoid it. 


My supermarket usually has frozen cranberries so I thought I will buy them and make my own cranberry sauce.  No Cranberries in the frozen fruits, oh well, I put the Turkey Breast back and settled for my sweet potato burger and some salad. 
My Sweet Pea Burgers made of garbanzo beans and sweet potato. are sooo good. But I needed bread crumbs. I was pleasantly surprised they had whole wheat bread crumbs. Then I read the ingredients: HF Corn Syrup!!!  In breadcrumbs????  I was not happy. I ended up making my own out of whole wheat bread with NO corn syrup. 
I did check other containers, corn syrup in all! 
Click Here for an article on why corn syrup is not the best thing to put into your body.
This article is from  Dr. Mark Hyman whose information and opinions I respect. There is plenty of information available if you want to read more about effects of high fructose corn syrup on your health. 

So how do we change this, any ideas?
