Healthy Breakfast

Not long ago, I had a container of yogurt for breakfast. I felt good about myself for eating so healthy. I started wondering if this yogurt had any sugar or it was sweetened with aspartame. So, reading the ingredients, I was very surprised to see it had high fructose corn syrup in it.

I know the corn people say it's the same as eating sugar. But other people say you will gain more weight with the high fructose corn syrup. If I were a thin person, maybe I wouldn't think it mattered. But I'm not.

Later that morning, I had a bowl of bran flakes. And guess what was in the ingredients? High fructose corn syrup. So, is this in everything I buy that's processed? Those were two of the healthiest things in my diet, I thought.

So now, it's back to shredded wheat and bananas. I like shredded wheat and bananas. No additives. The shredded wheat has even more fiber than the bran flakes. And it goes very well with fruit.
