I don’t know about the negative health effects of HFCS, but I think it is interesting that it is mostly government intervention that has caused processed food manufacturers to switch to HFCS from sugar. A combination of billions of dollars of subsidies for corn and high tariffs on imported cane sugar causes HFCS to be significantly cheaper than sugar.

I am a little skeptical of this and some similar studies. I would like to know more about why higher fructose content as opposed to sucrose would have this effect. After witnessing the poor behavior of so called “climate scientists”, one has got to wonder about hidden agendas. However several articles that I have read recently have convinced me to try cutting back on my sugar and HFCS intake.

Check the links in comment# 33. Try to read the abstracts at leasr. If you want some more, click on the keyword hfcs. I try to link original citations when I can find them for my threads. Not all scientists are bought and paid for.

It was also government intervention that caused food manufacturers to switch from natural fats to transfats. Not good.
