If you are like me, you have begun eliminating HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) from your life. I don't care how many ways "they" try to convince me that it is perfectly fine... IT'S NOT.
That being said --- have you ever noticed THIS on your food label?
CRYSTALLINE FRUCTOSE
Do you know what it is? You can find it in a lot of different products... one of which is the very popular Vitamin Water and, crazily enough, even some Kashi products.
Here is the composition:
....
| Fructose | ≥ 98.0% and £ 102.0%, after drying |
| Arsenic | ≤ 1 mg/kg |
| Chloride | ≤ 0.018% |
| Glucose | ≤ 0.5% |
| Heavy metals (as Pb) | ≤ 5 mg/kg |
| Hydroxymethylfurfural | ≤ 0.1%, dry basis |
| Lead | ≤ 0.1 mg/kg |
| Loss on drying | ≤ 0.5% |
| Residue on ignition | ≤ 0.5% |
| Sulfate | ≤ 0.025% |
No thank you.
