Exactly what I wanted. Thanks

My pleasure.

doesn’t using HFCS bypass a regulatory mechanism in the body (regulated by sucrase production)?

Actually, the absorption of sugars is independent of their dietary sources. They rely on active transport in the small intestines.

You’re welcome. On other threads, a recurring theme was that both sucrose and HFCS break down into fructose and glucose in solution.

I’m aware of sucrose intolerance, brought about by the body’s incapacity to produce sucrase. That being the case, will there not be differences in metabolic processes handling sugar vs. those handling HFCS? Both are really not the same, if that’s the case.
