But...but...how can this beee!!?? High fructose corn syrup is eeevil. The TeeVee tells me so.
High fructose corn syrup isn’t metabolized by the body in the way that sucrose is; hfcs goes immediately to fat.
I wouldn’t trust anything from the Corn Refiner’s Association. This is a propaganda piece that reminds me of the tobacco companies’ ads in the 60’s claiming that smoking wasn’t harmful.
The problem is simply that people are eating too much of everything and exercising too little.
As if sucrose was a health food.
What they’re really saying is that sucrose and fructose are equally bad for you.
A slightly more intelligent presentation by Gary Taubes:

I don’t know, but when the corn growers association (not sure if that’s the real name) is to the point of advertising in commercials on TV about how HFCS is no different than sugar, using a “dad” walking his little girl through a cornfield, it pretty much tells me that it’s worse than sugar.
I think it’s true.
They’re both equally bad for you in excess, and a lot of people take them in excess
There is no difference between refined sugar and HFCS. They’re both crap. And they’re both consumed in unbelievable amounts in this country. It’s no surprise that there is an epidemic of diabetes and obesity in this country?
Just go to any Walmart or any mall on any give day, and look at the evidence.
Sucrose is 50% glucose and 50% fructose.
HFCS is 45% glucose and 55% fructose.
High-Fructose Corn Syrup Can Fuel Tumor Growth
Along with Obesity and Diabetes, it's also linked to Liver Scarring.
ENJOY!
Way we presume that this study was subsidized by the Corn Refiners Association and its many friends among the political classes?
Certainly the National Science Foundation would be more than happy to fund such a study. Or the NIH. Or even NASA, good friend of Global Warming.
Make food from scratch... like the best chef-owned restaurants do.
High fructose corn syrup is bad for you. You won’t die immediately, but if you’d like health problems when you get older, it’s a great way to get started.
Eat meat, animal fats, butter, fresh fruits, vegetables, etc., as much organic as possible. Tastes best and is the best for you. If good ingredients are chosen and properly prepared, flavors (and nutrients) are left intact and often concentrated by the chef. A wide variety of fruits and vegetables provides tremendous health benefits. And with the preservation and concentration of flavors (instead of cooking them out), you’ll feel wonderfully satisfied with reasonable portions. Overeating happens when one eats large amounts of carbs with simple and not-to-concentrated flavors, i.e., a big plate of pasta, a box of cookies.
If you work with great chefs in their kitchens you’ll learn what’s up with food.
Junk made in factories that comes in boxes, crackers, cakes, cookies, etc. is a slow-acting poison.
There’s a reason why diabetes and heart disease are rampant - they’re very much helped along by the processed food industry.
Most people have higher than healthy levels of heavy metals in their system. For example, tinnitus. It’s common and heavy metals can be the culprit.
The liver and kidneys can’t process processed foods as chemicals are in unnatural ratios; the organs are also unable to expel many of the poisons we’re being fed.
And, cooking from scratch can be accomplished very cheaply. All it takes is effort and some self-education. And if you get started eating well, you’ll realize the taste difference and how junky processed foods are.
Study was paid for by the HFCS industry.
Meanwhile the Sugar growers are suing them in court for false advertising.
Does that clear things up?
I KNOW Coke tasted better prior to changing to HFCS. And products like Jones soda (with cane sugar) tastes better to me.
It’s all sugar, no matter what the scaremongers and their gullible followers say.
We simply consume too many calories.
I’ve been on a total liquid diet since Easter, and today am down 25 lbs. I’m not hungry.
I’m just realizing that I could probably live on one meal a day and maintain at ideal weight. It leads me to believe that the other 3000 calories per day that I was eating were mere colon fill.
Stuff your face with sugar, get fat.
Stuff your face with HFCS, get fat.
Eat healthy, drink a lot of water, stay skinny.
Given our last discussion, I thought you might find this of interest. It appears the truth isn’t the truth when it comes from an association of corn growers.
