What are you drinking?

We take great pride in the fact that Longmont Dairy Chocolate Milk does not contain any high fructose corn syrup. Recently in the news, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has been connected to high obesity rates and other health issues. HFCS is in almost everything we consume, but our bodies do not break it down the same way as the naturally occurring sugars.

Research suggests that HFCS is broken down by our liver, causing problems such as fatty livers and diabetes to develop in otherwise healthy people.*HFCS is a by-product of corn (often genetically altered varieties) made from processing cornstarch into glucose. It is in everything from ketchup and sodas to yogurt and bread, but most of us are oblivious to how much we consume on a daily.
