With all the High Fructose Corn Syrup rants out there, it's hard to know what to do. I believe the research that says that HFCS does not provide sweetness satiety to the human brain. When people doubt this, especially those who knew me as a child, I like to remind them that never was there enough pecan pie to satisfy me! And, pecan pie is LOADED with corn syrup. While my Pecan Pie gluttony has abated over the years, this year's Thanksgiving Pecan Pie is going to be made with Lyle's Golden Syrup. It's a pure cane syrup (no this is not a plug). It's my own little experiment. I wanna see if it makes a difference in sugar satiety. Not that I can eat whole pies any longer -- probably shouldn't even eat a single wedge. At this point if I don't lose some pudge there won't be any pecan pie around here at all. But that's another story...
