It’s really simple.

Sugar is metabolized immediately as an energy booster.
High fructose corn syrup is stored in the body as fat.

I suspect that this study is the reason for all the commercials touting ‘corn sweetener’ as being no different than sugar, from the CORN LOBBY of course.

We, in America are caught between two powerful lobbies in DC. The Corn Lobby and the Sugar Lobby.........

Nonsense. "Sugar" is sucrose = one glucose and one fructose (they are linked together but are cleaved in the stomach). HFCS 55, for example, is the same ratio of glucose/fructose as "sugar" (and the same sweetness). There is no difference as to how they are metabolized.
