No, I just have little patience for people who refuse to think logically.

Yes, I get that you were posting your personal experience—which you misinterpreted because you jumped fully onboard the anti-HFCS bandwagon and don’t want to consider any other explanation. I did not insult you; I gave you enough information to try to figure out what really caused the experience you described. The problem is that you are emotionally attached to the anti-HFCS belief, and you don’t want facts to interfere with that belief.

I’ll bet anything that you eat honey just fine—even though it is chemically identical to HFCS.

As I said, if you do not want to be corrected on scientific nonsense, don’t post it.

Sorry, moron, I took a scientific approach. I examined the foods that gave me gas such as yogurt and sweetened sodas, noticed the HFCS, switched to the same foods without such, and it substantially reduced the problem. And BTW, I don't eat honey, so that strawman won't hunt, either.

And I am not on a liberal-type anti-HFCS bandwagon, I just don't like what it does to my digestive tract. I do have a conservative dislike for the reason it is so widely used - because of sugar tariffs that initially were meant to suppress the Castro regime but that now that protects Florida sugar growers. I do also think people eat too many refined carbs, but that is a larger issue.

You come across as someone connected to a company like Cargill or ADM that makes HFCS by the traincarload and who are major players in DC lobbying, i.e. corruption.
