Know What you Eat
Are we Drowning in High Fructose Corn Syrup ???

High Fructose Corn Syrup is now a days found in almost all the commercial Food Products.It’s not that you should eliminate fructose from your diet, but you should be aware of how much you’re consuming. After all, fructose is the primary sugar found in fruits, which provide valuable nutrients. In this case, a little fructose is fine. It becomes a problem only when someone consumes high levels of fructose or HFCS....As it has been implicated in a rise of Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other health problems, high-fructose corn syrup and white sugar are almost identical chemically; each is about half fructose and half glucose. Recently reported on two new studies that investigatedpotential mercury contamination in high-fructose corn syrup, a sweetener commonly used in ready-to-eat foods.

ChickPea Flour (Besan) is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Magnesium and Copper, and a very good source of Protein, Folate and Manganese, Niacin. Also I used Arnold Whole Multigrain Bread which do not have high fructose corn syrup.
