There is an interesting docu/movie out about how corn is in EVERYTHING in one form or another. I don't remember the name of it but it looked like something worth seeing.

The film is King Corn.

The thing that bothers me most is that there is alot of things other than food in food. I try to buy organic as much as possible. If I can't pronounce it, I figure it can't be much good for me.

After reading the article below I started checking for corn syrup and corn products as additives and yikes...hard to get away from it. Maybe we should get rid of the corn additives in foods and help our obesity rates and let that corn go for real food and fuel!

One of the chief reasons is the emergence of high fructose corn syrup, a sweetener made from corn. Low corn prices in the 1980s made the sweetener a low-cost alternative to cane sugar, leading soft-drink giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi to begin using it. At the same time, Americans were growing wary of fat in their diets, and the food industry responded with an array of reduced-fat products, many of them stoked with corn syrup to boost their flavor. Now, corn-based sweeteners are in everything from fruit drinks to baked goods to supposedly healthy items such as yogurt.

additives. preservatives. high fructose corn syrup. the list could go on forever.
