Sillyness. HFCS is not much more F than table sugar, that is simply a fact. Its just another bogey man that (mostly lefties) latch on to, instead of blaming PEOPLE.

And yes, when it comes to getting fat, a calorie IS just a calorie. I know how Fructose works, and I've avoided it for 20 years now, since I read articles by Dan Duchaine about it. But HFCS is not THAT much worse than sucrose. Fact is, we should consume alot less of BOTH substances.

It's 55 parts fructose to 42 parts glucose in HFCS-55. 56/42 = 4/3.(Hint: it's multiples of 14.) That's means fructose is almost one third more than glucose in HFCS-55.

But HFCS is not THAT much worse than sucrose.

What's your explanation for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease? You can't find it in medical books from over two decades ago. Now, they are predicting an epidemic of cirrhosis and a need for liver transplants.
