Oh yeah, I’d have to agree with that too.
During the time of my abusing soft drinks, I was a very fat dude...bloated even.
I have my own ‘pet theory’ as to why HFCS does what it does to humans.
Many FReepers who grow corn will disagree, and say ‘sugar is sugar is sugar’, and they are correct, to a point.
Too much of anything is bad for you, whether it’s HFCS or regular raw table sugar.
But I think that the human body reacts differently to HFCS than it does to table sugar.
My thought is that the body sees a molecule of HFCS and stores it as fat for future use, but a molecule of sugar it tries to use immediately as energy, but stores it only if there is too much for current needs.
Bears binge in the late summer and fall months on fruits, berries and honey if it can find it. It’s system stores this FRUCTOSE for use during hibernation. I think the human body does the same thing........
