As more and more people turn to dining at home and selecting foods that are as natural as possible, Log Cabin Syrup (www.logcabinsyrups.com) is in tune with the times by introducing a reformulated syrup that replaces high fructose corn syrup with real sugar.
Log Cabin has been an American breakfast table staple since 1887. A great way to reintroduce yourself to Log Cabin if you haven't tried it in a while is with another new item, this one in the frozen food section - Van's All Natural Pancakes & French Toast Sticks (www.vansfoods.com).
These heated up in a jiffy in our toaster oven, but you can also pop them into the toaster to serve piping hot within a few minutes. You have your choice of wheat-free or buttermilk pancakes, and wheat free cinnamon or homestyle French Toast Sticks. Children (and parents) really love the quick convenience of these breakfast goodies, especially on a Sunday morning when mom and dad want to sleep in, but the kids want a fancy breakfast and they are early birds.
Until our next food find...may all your food finds be fabulous!

As a registered dietitian I want to point out that High fructose corn syrup has been the subject of a lot of attention and misinformation in the past few years.
Most of the problem stems from confusion about what high fructose corn syrup really is. Most people have heard of high fructose corn syrup, but aren't aware of how similar it is to common table sugar and each has about 4 calories per gram.
Scientists continue to confirm that high fructose corn syrup is no different from other sweeteners. It is essentially the same as table sugar and honey, and has the same number of calories.
Even leading former critics of high fructose corn syrup reached a consensus that this sweetener is indistinguishable from table sugar in its metabolic effects and that it can not be linked to obesity any more or less than other caloric sweeteners (December 2008 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). This consensus echoes the most respected medical body in the world, the American Medical Association, which stated last summer that “high fructose corn syrup does not appear to contribute to obesity more than other caloric sweeteners.

I read your comment and wondered just how informed you are about HFCS. Please take the time to read this entire report and then answer here.
Go to iatp.org and read their report about HFCS containing mercury. Tell us what you think.
Most people know that the AMA can and has been bought by large
corporations in the past. Drug companies comes to mind first.
But high fructose corn syrup makers are also "big".
And a little money, relatively speaking, buys a lot.
One more comment Ms. Green.
Why should you care if companies are eliminating HFCS from their
products?
