HFCS is not widely used in Australia and in for example soft drinks. Instead we use cane sugar - here it is thought that when the body turns HFCS into energy, it creates too-high levels of the unhealthy triglyceride fats in the process.

That is what Lustig also claims, but not sure if Mase, who bitterly disagrees with his overall thesis, agrees.

HFCS is not widely used in Australia and in for example soft drinks. Instead we use cane sugar - here it is thought that when the body turns HFCS into energy, it creates too-high levels of the unhealthy triglyceride fats in the process.

That is what Lustig also claims, but not sure if Mase, who bitterly disagrees with his overall thesis, agrees.

Since both sucrose (cane sugar) and HFCS are made up of the same two chemicals (glucose and fructose), and appear in almost identical proportions, how is it that one can increase triglyceride levels while the other does not?

Lustig doesn't offer a "thesis." He offers junk science based on some personal agenda or incredible ignorance. Either way, we should refer to it as "crap."
