[CT Birds] Grape Jelly High Fructose Corn Syrup

[Pat Dufour]

I would not put it out if I thought it harmful.  I don't think it is the
only source of food for them and it does attract insects.

> I have put grape jelly out for the orioles, too.  I am wondering if we
should because it all seems to have high fructose corn syrup.  According to
nutritionists, this is a chemical, not a food and is metabolized in strange
ways.   Any thoughts? I suppose we could sweeten some grape juice with cane
sugar as a substitute.
