Actually we eat more corn syrup than sugar as a sweetener source...Sugar is too expensive nowadays for most food processors.Corn syrup doesn't seem as satisfying as sugar therefore we want to eat more. It is probably a reason why we have more allergies due to increased intake of corn products.

I had a friend on the Atkins diet. She lost a lot of weight but it trashed her blood chemistry. Her total cholesterol was in above 900 and her tri-gly were over 1000. The doctor thought it was a flawed result and she had a second test at another blood lab. It came back with nearly the same results. When she switched to a diet of moderation that included some carbs, lean meats, fruits and veggies her numbers dropped in half. It might be a freak occurance but I'll never take that chance.

Corn syrup is sugar.
