Some of these sugars might feel healthier, but they're all equally bad.

Absolutely.
Sugar is sugar is sugar.
A sweet problem: Princeton researchers find that high-fructose corn syrup prompts considerably more weight gain:
Yes.
*cough* processed *cough*

yes it is not food
evolution says you mess with it, you break it
I have been cutting sugar out of my diet for some time now. In doing so I am more inclined to read the ingredients list on many foods I buy. The most surprising place I have found added sugar was in canned peas. Nearly everything in the grocery store has added sugar somewhere. That is quite troubling.
No no no!
High-fructose is fructose! Fructose comes from fruit!
Fruit is good for you!
Sugar comes from the supermarket!
The supermarket is bad for you!
All the studies agree!
Science is settled.
Right. Don’t eat phony anything.
Sugar is in virtually every processed food. Have you ever tasted the cereals given to children? And advertised like crazy? Disgustingly sweet. And kids are turning into rotund piglets.
Honey Stevia 50 produced by Whole Earth is excellent.
total myth. processed exactly the same by the body.
Unfortunately both types of sugar are pretty much poison though in the doses many people take
Yep, Stevie Nicks is a honey!............
Ping!....................
Don’t worry about sugar by itself.
You’ll generally be better served minimizing carbohydrate consumption in general.
The amount you eat and what you eat it with are very important, which is why processed foods are so bad.
Our bread would have been considered a pastry 200 years ago. Their bread isn’t in anyone’s diet anymore. Our bread (carbohydrates) causes wild blood sugar swings, promoting a hungry feeling. Deal with that and you eat less and maintain a healthy weight.
Ho, HFCS is not remotely the same as cane or beat sugar... and in spite of this authors claims, HFCS is treated by the body differently... and as others have posted here, more than a few studies have shown it.
Lots of sugar, of any kind is not good, but HFCS is the trans fat of the sugar world... It should be avoided at all costs... The continued spin that it is just like all other sugars is hogwash.
For 45 years there was NO debate that a diet based mostly on carbs, even if comprised of food made mostly of sugar, was the best way to eat because meat would give you a heart attack. Then suddenly there was a debate when people kept having heart attacks and had diabetes now too. Whenever the science is taken for granted to be settled, I have questions.
The best bet is to avoid high fructose corn syrup AND cane sugar but of the two I'd fave the one closer to nature, cane sugar.
Back during the Cold War, my mom was a guard at a seaport.
There were some Romanian sailors that defected, so they went to her to do it.
She took them home and fixed some food while the proper authorities could be notified.
They said our ‘bread’ was like ‘cake’...................
