HFCS is chemical sugar.
consider it in your sodium values. (sodium is salt)
its not a bad thing, it just needs moderation.

Try Hispanic markets, they tend to have sodas with sugar in them (Pepsi, Coke, etc.), but they're more expensive.

I agree. And staying physically fit is not only dietary, but requires exercise. Exercise is not only important when we're depressed, it actually COMBATS depression, because toxins are purged through sweat, and are replaced by wonderful, warm endorphins and a tremendous sense of strength, peace and well-being. But it requires work!!!

I ride to the gym twice a week on a bicycle (7 miles), huff and puff on the elliptical (sort of a stand-up bike) for at least 20 minutes, then push the weights, then cool down and relax, then ride back home, in addition to riding the bike at least 2 miles every day. Works!!!

I've completely given up soda. Juice or water is the only way to go. That Vitamin Water Zero seems to be good stuff too. It's naturally sweetened, and, of course, chock full of Vitamins, which are always absorbed more quickly in liquid than pill form.

I think that some people who are depressed may have an undiagnosed disease. That was my problem, I've had symptoms of hypothyroidism for many years (which includes depression) but it went undiagnosed until recently. There are other diseases that have depression as a symptom so it's important to have a thorough physical in addition to doing healthy life style stuff.

There are many diseases that can cause depressive signs and symptoms. It is very wise to have your family doctor check the common disorders like thyroid (ter1 reply above) and sugar.
