Press F to doubt.

HFCS has been in high use for over 50 years (and was touted as a healthy alternative to sugar by studies at the time!) and its consumption is actually down over the last 10 as many people have switched to diet alternatives or kicked it out of their diet altogether but cancer rates are still increasing overall.

Which isn’t to say that HFCS is good for you - just that this looks like another bad study with an agenda.

IMHO, one of the bad studies with an agenda was many decades ago when it was "determined" that sugar was worse than corn syrup as far as increased heart disease.

Hence, the reason you have to pay a lot extra for an old-school Coke, Pepsi, or Dr. Pepper sweetened with sugar like they used to be.

The article also admits that it’s found in fruit so it seems that perhaps it’s not the amount but how fast it’s absorbed.

The *study* proves nothing.

Cuba is a big exporter of cane sugar, but export no corn products worth noting. They certainly appreciate a high global asking price for cane sugar, given that they don’t produce that many things, other than pharmaceuticals and Marxists, etc.

True. The version today is also likely genetically modified HFCS.

And obesity and diabetes rates have been rising for 50 years also.

Self-promotion is typical. Remember that fake dementia study that sent drug makers down a blind alley, spending tens of billions on a working theory that turned out to be wholly invented?

https://www.science.org/content/blog-post/faked-beta-amyloid-data-what-does-it-mean

It provided the author with fame and endless grants for almost 20 years. Every drug associated with this rabbit hole failed efficacy tests, wasting not just money, but close to two decades.
