[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue with HF corn syrup is when it’s added to foods that shouldn’t have sugar in them. Pecan pie is literally made with syrup so it’s not a hidden ingredient. Unless there is a corn allergy I’d use the corn syrup. [/quote] No the issue with HFCS is that it’s that much harder for our bodies to digest. It’s been a minute but I think it was Marion Nestle who had a book explaining about why HFCS was uniquely bad for us (something about being processed in the liver vs somewhere else in the body, blood sugar and insulin being spiked far higher than an equivalent serving of regular sugar). But the corn syrup we buy at the grocery store isn’t high fructose corn syrup, it’s basically just another liquid sugar like maple syrup or honey or agave. So if OP wants the pecan pie and is only avoiding the corn syrup for fear it’s HFCS, it’s not. It’s like a twice a year pie. [/quote]
