Mmm... real sugar. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 16, 11:53
except that real sugar is imported and corn is grown in the country -- nm - zork Dec 16, 11:50 5
- Actually, sugar cane is grown in Florida and they have effectively kept imports heavily taxed, keeping sugar prices artificially high. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 11:53 3

    - I saw the cane there! -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:58
  - and I'm sure the midwest corn lobby isn't at all displeased with that either. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 11:55
- f*ck you too, buddy! -- nm - Hawaiian sugar farmers Dec 16, 11:51
hmm. I don't think there's any difference. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:49 7
- One is fructose, the other is sucrose. Both sugars, but not the same. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 11:54 6
  - but similar enough that it would be no difference to your body. kinda like drinking gasoline or naptha would give the same result. -- nm - zork Dec 16, 11:56 5
    - oh, if it's fructose and sucrose, your body treats them completely differently. but I don't think it is fructose in either case. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 12:00
    - I've read that there are studies which claim this is not the case, that your body does process the two very differently. - znufrii Dec 16, 11:57 3
      - I believe corn syrup is in fact sucrose, so there is no difference. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 11:59 1
        
        I believe the distinction I'm thinking of was between sugar and high fructose corn syrup, in particular. - znufrii Dec 16, 12:02
      - There are studies that show that there's no difference too. I think it's very inconclusive at this point. -- nm - pmb Dec 16, 11:58
