9. High fructose corn syrup is considerably cheaper, & if you read labels, you find it in everything

I remember reading up on HFCS some years back — turns out that while sugar may be bad for you, HFCS is really bad, as it kind of slams your brain and sets you up for more cravings. Since it was constructed in a science lab I’m pretty sure the scientists and lab rats already knew that when it went to market.

So I started reading labels on my next grocery trip and was surprised to find it in just about everything.

But definitely cheaper than cane sugar.
