People who consume lots of sugar tend to have higher blood pressure? Could it be because they tend to be fat? Duh! Sugar is sugar, despite what the diet-loons tell you.

That’s my take on this too. I don’t see any comparison with people who ate that much refined cane sugar there...

Sugar and HFCS react differently in the Liver. HFCS strains the Liver much worse than Cane Sugar.

"Sugar is sugar, despite what the diet-loons tell you."

I'm not so sure. The High Fructose Corn syrup is already broken down. The body has to do some work to break down sugar into it's fructose/sucrose components.

Plus there is a particle (forgot it's name) that is found in the High Fructose corn syrup that is also found in the blood of diabetics that they are researching.

Do a bit of research on Diabetic diets. Look at Maltose.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
