No, but there's a few posters who are REALLY down on HFCS, as you have noted.
So how come fructose is more fattening than sucrose?
I dunno. When it comes to stuff like HFCS, I just use my "butter" rule-of-thumb. I remember when butter was going to cause the death of everyone on the planet, and you were REQUIRED to switch to margarine. The health Nazis lost me at that point, and I started ignoring their BS advice.
Years afterward, we discovered that margarine had the evil "trans-fats", and butter wasn't as bad.
So, when I view the HFCS versus sugar deal in soft drinks, I just remember that the same idiots that pushed margarine on us are responsible for pushing HFCS-sweetened soft drinks on us, too.

Which was a real "moon'em like Bart Simpson" moment for me. I never switched to yellow chemical grease.

That seems pretty sound, but I want to know a bit about the science involved. Based on what I think I know, it seems counter-intuitive.
