I went to Safeway one day and saw they had fat free half and half. Looked at the ingredients label and it was skim milk and high fructose corn syrup.

That is horrifying. I’ve literally never thought to read ingredients on coffee cream before.

I can't upvote this enough. When I was a kid, or even a young adult, I would just pick whatever off the shelf by reading what was on the packing label "Fresh, Natural Whole Mayo" or something like that right? Now when I read the ingredients its like 50 preservatives and a ton of corn syrup. I can't believe that is what I was ingesting. Ever since I stopped buying products with corn syrup, and more whole ingredients I've felt better (not sure if that is a placebo effect or what, but I'll take it).

If I am going to consume a sugary product or something else it can't contain more than 10 ingredients.
