If we were to get rid of High Fructose Corn Syrup maybe the sugar market would stabilize.

I detest HFCS, I gain weight almost immediately when I consume it, and have lost 30 lbs by refusing to ingest anything that contains it.

The US congressional subsidies are to blame for the universal shift to HFCS.

Stop subsidizing corn.

Sugar can hold it’s own.

Certainly there are millions who would pay more for products with sugar than with HFCS. You just can’t find them anymore.

Same here. I’m trying to give up sweets all together, natural or artificial. Just stopping soft drinks is a start.

Supposedly, the HFCS in one Dr. Pepper is 14 times more fattening than the same drink sweetened with sugar.

I agree. I think HFCS is a cause of rampant diabetes. I take the sugar.

“I detest HFCS”

My doc is convinced that it caused my Type ll. I used to drink a lot of Dole type juices. They;re loaded with it. I figured juice was mostly water, so I drank a lot of it!
