What is wrong with people? Sugar is nearly as "bad" as HFCS, in that it contains a almost as much Fructose as HFCS. Sugar should be called FairlyHFCaneS.

People are deluding themselves if they think that eliminating HFCS, and simply eating the equivalent in sugar, is going to magically make them skinny/well/healthy.

Thats what I dont like about these health scares, it steers attention away from the REAL problems with our diet (too much quick carbs, and TOO MUCH in general)...

The stuff in soft drinks is HFCS-55, 55 percent fructose and 42 percent glucose. There's 31 percent more fructose than glucose. When fructose is metabolized it needs one less enzyme than glucose to make glycerol, which happens to make up the spine of triglycerides when glycerol combines with free fatty acids.

Whats the proportion of glucose to fructose in each?
