We have been concerned about corn syrup for a variety of reasons at SunRidge Farms for many, many years. It’s such a staple sweetener in the food industry due to it’s low cost and availability but it’s negative health impact is becoming clearer. The most recent study on this sweetener indicates that the brain does not recognize that we are eating by telling us we are now ‘full’. The impact on weight and other health concerns can be severe with excessive sugar in the body and the high potential for over eating.

Sweet is something we crave as humans but we can certainly use more natural forms of sugar to achieve this. In doing so you’ll find that your craving is satisfied with less and far more healthy amounts. As with my own kids, you’ll find them quickly gravitating to the better foods once they are exposed to this. Try serving Organic Chocolate Almonds in your child’s lunchbox as a treat versus any number of commercially produced packaged treats and you’ll find other kids wanting to have the same. My sixth grader has done just that and his class has cut back on junk food for lunch as parents have switched up due to the influence of one child. Why?? The kids are asking for better snacks because they do taste better and fill their stomachs with less.
