Reading Nutrition Labels - Avoiding High Fructose Corn Syrup

I don't know how bad High Fructose Corn Syrup is for you, I am not a nutrition expert, but I heard a discussion on a radio show one day about how widely it was used and how it might be contributing to weight gain in a America. So, whether it's bad for me or not, I got into the habit of looking at product labels to see they had high fructose corn syrup in it.  I  discovered that almost everything I ate contained it.  Just for kicks, and maybe for good health, I now try to avoid eating high fructose corn syrup and it has helped me eat better. 

The positive byproduct of avoiding eating high fructose corn syrup is I now I also look at every product's nutrition label before I buy it.  I note the fat and calorie content and end up avoiding a lot of products that I used to buy.
