One of my pet peeves is that lying commercial about all sugars being the same. They are NOT, that’s why the body metabolizes the differently.
HFCS has an extra molecule that makes it harder for the body to break down. The longer it stays in the blood the more it affects blood sugar.
I would also like to see products list the trans fats by volume instead of per portion. They skirt the truth by making the portion size so small that they can claim zero trans fats, which misleads people into thinking a product has no trans fats when it really does. If people could see that a product claiming no trans fats per serving actually had 10 grams of trams fats per volume, they realize the product was not trans fat free after all.
People can’t make informed choices when deceptive advertising is allowed. jmo
Enzymes in normal saliva help the body convert ingested sucrose into a glucose-fructose mixture which would be virtually identical to the sugar content of HFCS, which is then metabolized by normal bodily processes. But the process from taste buds to appearance of sugars in the blood stream would be slower. And ironically, more satisfying. Getting a sugar buzz too quickly after tasting the sugar is perceived as less satisfying, not more.

You’ve got that right. The serving size on ice cream is usually 1/2 cup. Ridiculous,I haven’t eaten that size serving since I was 2 years old.
The key cure of obesity is eat less and exercise more.
I’m weary of the government interfering in my life. Just weary.
