I really don't know if HFCS is sold here cause I have never checked. Maybe its called something different. Anyway, these days more and more people are using artificaial sweeteners which do not have aspartame as a replacement for all the sweets and to use with tea and the like.

The NYTimes magazine food issue from October talked about how this is a systemic problem; that we have subsidies and other incentives in plave which make the cheapest food the least nutritive. This is a problem I had previously encountered in my own efforts to have a healthier body and lifestyle. Here is the link, to the article by Michael Pollan, as a letter to then president-elect Obama about the idea of "food policy." Enjoy! http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magazine/12policy-t.html David,

I'm no health food fanatic, but I do look for high fructose corn syrup in any processed product before I buy. Won't eat it if I can avoid it. By the way, loads of food in the EU is 'artificially' sweetened with e.g. Aspartame and Acesulfame potassium. (Just in case any non-EU readers should read your comment and think that we in the EU are 'all natural' with regards to sweeteners ;). Great article!
