saffronhareBOO: Arizona green tea with ginseng and honey, which I like very much, contains HFCS. I'm sure there are other options out there, but that brand/flavor was pretty simple to find, and very inexpensive to rationalize as a once-in-a-while kind of treat.
YAY: The generic, fat-free, french vanilla flavored coffee creamer I use does not contain HFCS -- just plain old sugar. And it's not a carrier of cholesterol! Still...there's a lot of unpronounceable ingredients there. I think I'll use up what's left and start investigating less chemically complicated ways to make YUM happen.
BOO: Just one serving of regular cream cheese (which I *almost* put on my mini-bagel this morning) contains a gajillion mg of cholesterol.
YAY: Country Crock margarine contains no cholesterol at all. [ETA: However (comma), as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
royal_spice kindly pointed out, it *does* contain some partially hydrogenated fats and is not the best of all possible choices.]
A bit more, mildly related: The girls are being really excellent partners in all this, and are even getting into trying different brands (or off-brand versions) of some of their favorite stuff. We're testing cookies this week. I think I'll use it as an opportunity to set up a double-blind taste test!

Date: 2009-10-19 06:51 pm (UTC)Sugar tends to be an issue for me, so I try not to spread a lot of jam on things and focus instead on consuming the Actual Fruit. That said, I do have some Bonne Maman fruit preserves that are really splendid -- and that's what I put on my bagel this morning! (Just a bit, but OMG yummy.)
As for coffee, the creaminess has more value than sweetness. And I just love the scent of vanilla. :)
Please forgive the LJ-disconnect here: Do I know you?
