what's interesting is that the research mentioned in the article actually agrees with the creepy pro-HFCS ads

What I don't get is why sucrose is so must worse than fructose (not HFCS, just regular fructose). -- nm - mara Apr 26, 08:55 3
- that's a good question, I would imagine that if you're consuming fructose from natural sources (fruits) it's a lot less concentrated - znufrii Apr 26, 08:58
- I wish I understood sugar metabolism better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:56 1
  - I learned from Wikipedia that sugar is digested by super-tiny lobbyists in my tummy -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 09:01
I'd rather have the real thing - I mean, if you're going to be unhealthy, there's zero upside to a pseudo-synthetic equivalent. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Apr 26, 08:54 1
- I wonder if the real problem with HFCS is that it's just in so much damn stuff. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 08:55
