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.
As one who is under doctor's orders to control blood sugar, I see them all as the same because I avoid them all regardless of the health benefits of one over the other.
