It may be the high fructose corn syrup, not the fat, that causes weight gain.

I agree with you about the hfcs. That stuff is in everything that is processed.

It may be the high fructose corn syrup, not the fat, that causes weight gain.

Almost certainly. And, unlike real sugar, eating HFCS doesn't seem to stem the craving for sweets at all.

The solution seems to be to eat natural fats and natural sugars (in moderation), and avoid trans-fats and HFCS - which is very hard since those two ingredients are in just about everything that comes pre-packaged.
