"Is there a way to tell if HFCS is in food? What's it identified as in the ingredients? "
It should be listed in the ingredients. You have to read the back label. Remember that those are listed by amount, with the highest amounts coming first.
Another approach is to go Kosher, because if I am not mistaken, things with HFCS will not get a pareve. Actually you can have a Coke, but it costs more and has a yellow cap from what I'm told. Of course that will have sugar in it but it's regular sugar.
Actually another way is to completely lose the swet tooth. I did it and can can smell sugared coffee from quite a distance. But then I don't drink coffee either. Once you lose that sweet tooth, you will loathe anything sweet, I do. I don't even want it, in fact I shun it in favor of spicey or whatever.
Since we are talking about a sweetener here I have further thoughts. Try not to hate me. That sweet tooth is a sign of a certain type of immaturity. It is instilled because alot of people give their kids candy, and even in the cradle, Karo syrup doped water to suck on. I believe this is wrong, and I believe that some grow out of it, others don't. The early exposure causes a type of addiction. Some grow and start to prefer hot and spicey foods or heaven forbid - to actually taste meat. I can't stand BBQ you know.
In a few seconds you can hate me. You want everything sweet. Taste tests prove it and you prove it with the loudest voice in the world, your money. You buy this shit and say MMMMMMMMgood. You never looked at the label in the back and saw that there was HFCS or aspartame in it, both of which are worse poisons than the sugar they were designed to replace.
People like me (I DO NOT DO THIS THOUGH) know what you crave and load up your feed with sugar and salt. But then you want it cheap and sugar is expensive, so this is what you get.
Wallach was dismissed as a quack, but people in other countries seem to know more about minerals lacking in the food. Fifteen years later there is a renewed interest in it. Senate document 264 has been called bullshit but what has come to pass has proven that it might just be right. The body lacking in minerals craves certain things, and after eating all that sugar in the first five years of life, it craves what it got when it was healthy, like when you were young.
D'Adario was dismissed as a quack, but now I got this eye doctor telling me things I thought he would never know (iridology).
People used to say cigarettes were fine, but the filter will kill you. We'll take a quick look at that one here. If you smoke a filtered cigarette you draw on it harder. Also the filter filters something and your craving is less satisfied, causing you to smoke more. This causes you to buy more. Are we on the same page here ? Money has just shown it's face. You buy more.
This is all tertiary to my point. If the public was made aware and for some reason would care, and stop buying products with HFCS or aspartame in them, those substances would cease to exist in a matter of months.

Yeah, and just what exactly is that filter made from and what happens to it when heat is drawn through it.
But as to sugar, the only stuff I use, (and I am wary), is cane sugar, although I am not quite sure what form of sugar is used in my ale, might have to check on that one. Otherwise, I don't eat candies or drink soda, I prefer a coffee and a slice of freshly cooked bread.
