RE: Sweet & deadly. Which is more toxic, corn syrup or refined sugar? What research discovered
I've been trying to avoid HFCS ingredients for a few years now. I'll tell you one thing, it is hard but not impossible. It seems to be in everything. Bread, yogurt, juice, cheeses, jam, crackers, etc, etc. The junk food like pop and chips are easy to avoid, it's the everyday products that you don't think about that is hard to find without this toxic ingredient.
Cheeses? Really? I don't think NZ cheeses have any sweetener! Easier to find the other things you mentioned without it too. But the cheese really boggles my mind.
Deb, I remember visiting a cheese factory when we lived in NZ years ago. Interesting indeed. But I have no memory of the ingredients, except of course lovely fresh NZ milk.

Yeah not necessarily regular block cheeses here in Canada. There are other cheese products that are questionable, though; if they should even be called cheese. Cheese wiz, cheese slices, cream cheese, etc. I'd have to go back and see exactly what might have the HFCS in it, but there are some questionable ingredients in a lot of the cheese products that are available to us here and I've been avoiding a lot of cheese products people just assume are healthy when they are not.
Milk. Starter culture. Time. Anything else disqualifies it from being cheese ;-)
@stephen.king989, thanks for sharing your experience... that it is possible to avoid corn syrup. Your list of foods should inspire some of our readers to take another look at the food labels on what they buy.
