Good News: Sugar Makes A Comeback

We create the culture of health around us.

This article, however, comes from the food industry itself, and describes how HFCS is being removed from some sodas, and replaced by good old fashioned, plain and simple, sugar. Hallelujah.

This is not good news because it somehow redeems sodas, or magically makes them a health food. It’s good news because it’s a sign that we are improving the food selections through our food choices. In other words, our demand creates their supply.

We are now improving our own culture of health — as we are seeing more organic products on the shelf, more locally grown foods brought into conventional grocery stores, and a greater use of farmers markets — by making smart choices.

This is the food equivalent of the phrase, Think Globally, Act Locally. And the end result will be that more companies will produce more foods that also happen to be healthy for us. Definitely a good thing.
