So things that contain HFC are no worse for you than regular sugar.

It is worse because it is processed differently by the body. If you get a change, take a look at any group grade school photo from 40 years ago compared to today's kids. Obesity was rare. Chubby was occasional. The percentage of really fat kids and adults now is astonishing. The change that has occurred in the last 10-15 years is scary.

No. HFCS and sugar (sucrose) are made up of the same two chemicals. Those two chemicals are metabolized no differently by your body even if they have two separate sources.

Overeating meets a sedentary lifestyle. If you eat more calories than you burn getting fat will be the result. That's the problem. No more, no less.
