The study I posted wasn’t a comparison of sucrose v. HCFS. However, if you’re really interested, there are studies and information out there. I stick with the scientific journals myself. Like anything, there is ongoing debate in the scientific disciplines. There is no dispute over calorie for calorie. There is, however, debate over metabolic processes when sucrose and various sugars are studied.

I know it wasn’t, that’s what I was pointing out. All that study did was look at consumption of processed foods that happen to contain HCFS and find a correlation with obesity.

Correlation is not causation.

Furthermore, from what I can see, there isn’t even an attempt to differentiate the quantity of HCFS consumed versus the other ingredients.

I strictly get my scientific information from journals (I can’t stand the sloppy quality of scientific reporting), but even in peer-reviewed journals, you can find countless examples of correlations being presented as causations.
