You might be right on the HCS (fructose corn syrup), I ate some of that in the way of BBQ sauce and sugar, Never again lol.

BBQ sauce, catsup, salad dressings, they are all still loading in the HFCS. The cereal companies and yogurt brands have begun to back off of it. When I first was on the fructose free diet, it was a lot worse than it is now.
Some fruits and vegetables have a lot of fructose too: tomatoes, apples, bananas, squash both summer and winter, and fruit juices.
Oh and of course most of the soda pop. Watch out for McDonalds McCafe drinks, I haven't checked lately, but I once had one of those drinks and boy did it set off my gut. I called McDonalds corporate customer service and made them read me all of the ingredients. First they told me just some kind of flavor mix, and then I made them give me all of the ingredients and there it was HFCS.
Corn syrup and hfcs are major industries in my state. I am surrounded by corn fields. A train comes through here every day taking corn syrup from Clinton, Iowa to Eddyville, Ia where there is a Cargill plant.
My doctor told me at the time that hfcs is the primary cause of obesity in this country. I don't know if that is completely true, but I have become very aware that if you have some carbs it makes you crave more. And that is doubly true of corn syrup.
Okay, I am coming down off of my soap box. But, that is a subject near and dear to my heart. Before I had that diagnosis, I thought maybe I would never be able to leave the house again.
