Prove it doesn’t contribute to obesity.

[Mase]

Well, since it provides calories to those consuming it I suppose, like all foods containing calories, it can contribute to obesity. However, it doesn't contribute to obesity any more than sucrose does -- or any other carb for the sake of this discussion.

Now, if you can prove otherwise then have at it. No one yet has been able to prove that glucose and fructose from hydrolyzed sucrose is different than glucose and fructose from HFCS.
