I figured that I wouldn’t make any friends going after HFCS...

I'm trying to figure out why HFCS is bad, but the fructose in your real sugar is good.

Maybe you can explain?

“I’m trying to figure out why HFCS is bad, but the fructose in your real sugar is good.”

It’s the conversion of the sugar type, totally messes it up. Anyway, little old me won’t have any effect, but people are now moving away from that junk regardless.

There isn’t generally any free fructose in sucrose (table sugar); fructose is one of the metabolic derivatives. It’s generally not good to actually consume simple sugars as food, including glucose; better to eat complex sugars and let the body break them down, because if you eat a simple sugar, the digestive juices will not let them get into the bloodstream in that form.
