However, when reading the ingredient labels of these bottles, all contain "high fructose corn syrup." I thought this ingredient was not healthy, and one to stay away from, no? Thanks!

I would not even have thought to read the label on a bottle of vinegar to see if it has HFCS. I have plain rice vinegar; now I have to go home and read what's on that label. I believe the brand I use is Nakano, and I just bought a fresh bottle last night. Don't make a New Year's Resolution...make a Decision!

I'm relieved to know there ARE brands without HFCS (I should have known ya'll thought about that before putting it in as an ingredient). I now have a renewed excitement about trying the yummy-recipes with seasoned rice vinegar (just need to do a bit more shopping around in my area to find the good brands -- surely, someone carries one of them). Thanks again!!

Something that amazed me was wine. How can smashed grapes not be vegan? Well, things like sea shells, egg whites, and isinglass (dried fish swim bladders, mostly sturgeon) are used in the fining process! Yes, there are vegan wines, beers, and other liquor that is vegan. Go to Barnivore.com for info. Since starting this program, have you found how much more aware you are of what you now choose to eat?!

I think that's one of the reasons I lose weight on this plan and get/keep my glucose in good control - I have to stop and think about what I'm eating. Is it vegan? yes/no right off the bat. Which provides a minute of thought to consider is this a good choice for my blood sugar level? for calories/fat? is there an alternative that would do just as well? Am I even really hungry or just wanting a snack? --Deb R

I don't see why you couldn't just buy rice vinegar & sweeten it with whatever you wanted.
