OK, so I know it's not cleaning related exactly, but it's along the lines of reducing processed chemicals that my family comes in contact with.
Now, I've been avoiding high fructose corn syrup for a long time... but I've finally found the study that confirms my suspicions that it's bad for you... (actually a friend brought it to my attention - thanks Laura).

The sad thing is that it won't change unless the government stops subsidizing corn products. HFCS is actually cheaper than sugar, so if you're on a budget (there are so few of us that aren't), then healthy food has to be something you really think about and prioritize. I know that (should anyone be reading this) I am preaching to the choir, but I've been thinking a lot about food lately. School cafeteria food is on my radar for future work... and we've started doing a lot to eat organic and local over the last two years.
