Starbucks is coming through for us!

I recently went to a Starbucks, and to my suprise I read something very interesting on the window.  Here is what I read, well in an expanded verson, straight from Their Website!

Real food. Simply delicious.
You’ll be happy to know that your favorite Starbucks foods not only taste better, they are better. We’ve taken out artificial ingredients to leave room for more real goodness.
Our new recipes contain:

No artificial flavors

No artificial trans fats

No artificial dyes

No high-fructose corn syrup

Many of these changes were inspired by your ideas. Of course, we were more than happy to oblige – and we hope you enjoy the difference.
Also when was at the store I read the window (it didn't say it online);

No MSG, Ever

I was just amazed!!! I doubt this is just out of the good hearts of the owners, IT WAS BECAUSE OF YOU! Everyone wrote to Strarbucks when it came out that there was MSG in their cofee, and now, THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM!

Thanks for reading! Please invite all friends/family to read this blog too!

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!!!

There are literaly THOUSANDS of articles on the internet talking about High Fructose Corn Syrup, or HFCS. If you think I am exagerating, just google HFCS, there are more than 530,000 results! It is over whelming!
I did my research, and I am putting together the BEST results in one post.

The first article I read was The Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup by Kevin Millard on HealthMad.com. First off, it explained WHAT HFCS IS! It says:

HFCS is not the run of the mill corn syrup found on the grocery store
shelf, nor is it the fructose naturally found in fruits and honey. HFCS is a
highly refined clear liquid derived from corn starch. Food manufactures love to
use it because of its long shelf life an it’s relative low cost.

Well, that is what it is, but why is it bad for us!?
There are many experiments that have been tested on various animals, all proving to end up fatal for the animals fed HFCS.
In one experiment 1/2 of the lab rats were fed food with HFCS in it, and 1/2 were fed food without it. The half that was fed it, died within a month, caused by MAJOR swelling in major organs.
This shows that us humans have to be effected by this "cheap" product, so commonly used in the food we need to eat!


There are some food stores such as "Whole Foods" and "Trader Joes" that make sure their foods have no HFCS or MSG, which is why we need to try to shop there as much as possible! Here is the store locator for Whole Foods, and Trader Joes!

Once again, if you can't shop at these locations, it is OKAY! Just remember to write local stores to convince them to follow these rules too!

Burt's Bees, NEW PRODUCT!

I needed some more Burt's Bees face wash, so I went to the local store to find it. Unfortunately I did not find the exact one I was looking for, but I found another one PLUS I found "Naturally Nourishing Milk & Shea Butter Hand Soap"!!!

Not sure how it works, or even believe it? Here is an excerpt straight from Burt's Bees website!

Cleanse and nourish in just one step. With just one use of this luxurious
cream-based liquid hand soap, you can increase your skin's moisture by up to
54%. See the difference regular use can make.

This product uses dehydrated COW'S milk and SHEA BUTTER to clean and
moisturze! I absolutely LOVE it and I do not know how I lived without it!
