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
